AbstractAbstract
[en] The question as to whether nonperpendicular, oblique shocks are disguised in the bow shock system by its infinite radius-of-curvature is addressed in light of the most recent data, which indicate that the quasi-perpendicular/quasi-parallel division is not merely real, but intrinsic. An attempt is presently made to summarize observational results on nonperpendicular shocks with the express intention of understanding the shock as an interactive structure that is dependent on the geometry of shock propagation. A foundation for the reconciliation of some rather complex or apparently contradictory quasi-parallel features is suggested. 66 references

AbstractAbstract
[en] The validity is investigated of a suggested model according to which Pc 3 and/or Pc 4 micropulsations are excited by magnetosheath field (and plasma) fluctuations arising in the quasi-parallel structure of the subsolar bow shock. The influence of solar wind plasma parameters on local shock structure and on the configuration of the entire bow shock system is included. 9Simultaneous data from two or more spacecraft and from multiple diagnostics is used to evaluate the geometrical factor, field-to-shock normal angle, or its B-X equivalent, and the principal plasma parameters. Results are presented and discussed

AbstractAbstract
[en] This report summarizes the results of the first 12 months of our program to study the interaction of the Earth's magnetosphere with the solar wind on the far flanks of the bow shock. This study employs data from the ISEE-3 spacecraft during its traversals of the Earth's magnetotail and correlative data from spacecraft monitoring the solar wind upstream. Our main effort to date has involved assembling data sets and developing new plotting programs. Two talks were given at the Spring Meeting of the American Geophysical Union describing our initial results from analyzing data from the far flank foreshock and magnetosheath. The following sections summarize our results

AbstractAbstract
[en] Representation of the Earth's bow shock and magnetopause and their geometrically determined macrostructure was investigated. Computer graphic depictions of the global distributions of bow shock structures and elementary animation of the dynamics of those distributions in the changing solar wind were developed. The shock-foreshock boundary and subcritical bow shocks as observed by ISEE 1 and 2 are discussed

AbstractAbstract
[en] Data obtained on the ISEE-1 and -2 spacecraft missions has allowed a discussion of the various plasma and magnetic field boundaries in the terrestrial magnetosphere. The bow shock, foreshock, and interplanetary shocks are discussed along with the magnetosheath, magnetopause, and boundary layer. Also, after a section on reconnection, a section on the plasma and neutral sheets, polar cusp, and the injection of plasma into the inner magnetosphere is presented

AbstractAbstract
[en] Data from ISEE-3, Pioneer Venus Orbiter, and Voyager 1 and 2 were analyzed. The predictability of local shock macrostructure at ISEE-1, at the Earth's bow shock, from solar wind measurements made up-stream by ISEE-3, was conducted using computer graphic format. Morphology of quasi-parallel shock was reviewed. The review attempted to interrelate various measurements and computations involving the q-parallel structure and foreshock elements connected to it. A new classification for q-parallel morphology was suggested
