The physics of space weather/solar-terrestrial physics (STP): what we know now and what the current and future challenges are [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2020 Major geomagnetic storms are caused by unusually intense solar wind southward magnetic fields that impinge upon the Earth's magnetosphere (Dungey, 1961). How can we predict the occurrence of future interplanetary events?

Arrival times of Flare/Halo CME associated shocks at the Earth: comparison of the predictions of three numerical models with these observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 The arrival times at L1 of eleven travelling shocks associated both with X-ray flaring and with halo CMEs recorded aboard SOHO/LASCO have been considered.

Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008 The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. This paper expands upon previous work modeling the phase space distributions of accelerated ions associated with the shock event encountered on day 292 of 1991 by the Ulysses mission at 4.5 ...

Multispacecraft observations of the terrestrial bow shock and magnetopause during extreme solar wind disturbances [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Three events are discussed from the declining phase of the last solar cycle when the magnetopause and/or the bow shock were observed unusually close to the Earth due to major interplanetary disturbances.

Multiple spacecraft observations of interplanetary shocks: Characteristics of the upstream ULF turbulence [PDF]
, 1982 All interplanetary shocks observed by ISEE-3 and either ISEE-1 or ISEE-2 or both in 1978 and 1979 are examined for evidence of upstream waves. In order to characterize the properties of these shocks it is necessary to determine accurate shock normals. An

CLASSIFICATION OF THE INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS BY SHOCK DRIVERS [PDF]
Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2002 From the data of solar wind observation by ACE spacecraft orbiting the Earth-Sun Lagrangian point, we selected 48 forward interplanetary shocks(IPSs) occurred in 2000, maximum solar activity period. Examining the profiles of solar wind parameters, the IPSs are classified by their shock drivers.

Interpretation of Flat Energy Spectra Upstream of Fast Interplanetary Shocks
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interplanetary shocks are large-scale heliospheric structures often caused by eruptive phenomena at the Sun, and represent one of the main sources of energetic particles.

Observations of ionospheric flows and particle precipitation following a Sudden Commencement [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2000 On May 4, 1998, at 0227 UT an interplanetary shock crossed the WIND spacecraft, and half an hour later a Sudden Commencement occurred. Coinciding with the Sudden Commencement a rapid intensification of the flux of particle precipitation into the ...

Impact angle control of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014 AbstractWe use Open Geospace General Circulation Model global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fast forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, hereafter IOS‐1 and IOS‐2, where the latter has a Mach number twice stronger than ...

Single-spacecraft techniques for shock parameters estimation: A systematic approach
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Spacecraft missions provide the unique opportunity to study the properties of collisionless shocks utilising in situ measurements. In the past years, several diagnostics have been developed to address key shock parameters using time series of magnetic ...
