Ulysses - Interplanetary shocks between 1 and 4 AU
Abstract
The complex solar events of March 1991 are evident as a large increase in the rate of occurrence of interplanetary shocks. Using Ulysses magnetic field and plasma measurements, 32 forward shocks and 7 reverse shocks have been identified in the 280 day interval from October 26, 1990 to August 1, 1991. The March events alone have produced 9 shocks, several in association with coronal mass ejections. The shocks have been identified and analyzed to find theta(BN), the speeds in the upstream solar wind, the Mach number, and the inertial speeds along the radial and magnetic field directions.
