Sources of interplanetary shocks [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 1995 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.

Statistical study on interplanetary drivers behind intense geomagnetic storms and substorms
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019 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 ...

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 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.

Compression of the Earth's magnetotail by interplanetary shocks directly drives transient magnetic flux closure [PDF]
, 2006 We use a novel method to evaluate the global opening and closure of magnetic flux in the terrestrial system, and to analyse two interplanetary shock passages that occurred during magnetically quiet periods. We find that, even under these quiet conditions,

Dynamics of He++ Ions at Interplanetary and Earth’s Bow Shocks
Universe, 2022 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.

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.

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?

Interplanetary shock-associated aurora [PDF]
, 2019 Interplanetary shocks or solar wind pressure pulses have prompted impacts on Earth’s magnetospheric and ionospheric environment, especially in causing dynamic changes to the bright aurora in the polar ionosphere.

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.
