Interaction of a strong interplanetary shock with the termination shock [PDF]
The 1991 global merged interaction region (GMIR) shock is a strong forward shock observed from Voyager 2 on day 146 of 1991 at 34.6 AU. As the GMIR shock propagated out‐ward in the distant heliosphere, it eventually encounters the termination shock. We study the interaction of the GMIR shock with the termination shock taking into account the influence ...

Shock parameter calculations at weak interplanetary shock waves [PDF]
A large set of interplanetary shock waves observed using the Ulysses spacecraft is analysed in order to determine their local parameters. For the first time a detailed analysis is extended to the thermodynamic properties of a large number of events ...

Forbush precursory increase and shock-associated particles on 20 October 1989 [PDF]
Strong interplanetary disturbances may affect cosmic ray protons tremendously with energies less than 1 GeV, increasing their intensity by hundreds of percents, but they are not so effective for protons of higher energies.

Unusual enhancement of ~ 30 MeV proton flux in an ICME sheath region
In gradual Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events, shock waves driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) play a major role in accelerating particles, and the energetic particle flux enhances substantially when the shock front passes by the observer.

Statistical study on interplanetary drivers behind intense geomagnetic storms and substorms
Geomagnetic storms and substorms play a central role in both the daily life of mankind and in academic space physics. The profiles of storms, especially their initial phase morphology and the intensity of their substorms under different interplanetary ...

Sources of interplanetary shocks [PDF]
Abstract The sources of interplanetary shocks are reviewed from the standpoint of today's knowledge. Recent progress from both new and accumulated observations and models indicates that contributions from the two major sources of the shocks: CMEs and stream interactions, have distinctive radial, latitudinal and temporal dependencies.

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth
Auroral brightening driven by interplanetary shocks on Earth's closed magnetic field lines is commonly attributed to the 0.1–10 keV electron precipitations by electron cyclotron harmonic waves and whistler‐mode chorus waves in the low‐density region.

Arrival times of Flare/Halo CME associated shocks at the Earth: comparison of the predictions of three numerical models with these observations [PDF]
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.

Dynamics of He++ Ions at Interplanetary and Earth’s Bow Shocks
Experimental investigations of the fine plasma structure of interplanetary shocks are extremely difficult to conduct due to their small thickness and high speed relative to the spacecraft.
