Scientific paper

The distribution of thin layered field aligned currents (current layers) in the leading edge of the fast stream at 1 a.u. is studied by comparing solar wind plasma parameters (bulk velocity, density proton temperature and magnetic field intensity) and occurrence frequency of the current layer. Each leading edge studied is either a stream interface or an interplanetary shock. It is found that the occurrence frequency is related best to the proton temperature variations; the occurrence frequency increases with the rise of proton temperature. Possible mechanisms which cause high occurrence frequency of current layers in the leading edge are discussed.
