Scientific paper

Prognoz-7 data (coordinated with STIP measurements) on the MHD structure of the solar wind on April 25, 1979 are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the region of interaction of a fast flux, possibly from a low-latitude coronal hole) and the slow solar wind. It is found that a strong discontinuity (the flux boundary) separates the interaction region into a bow shock wave with a dense hot (beta greater than unity) turbulent magnetoplasma and a reverse shock wave with a strong regular magnetic field and a cold (beta much less than unity) plasma. The momentum acquired by the slow wind in the bow wave is four times greater than the momentum lost by the fast flux in the reverse wave.
