Scientific paper

WIND, ACE, IMP 8 and Geotail data shows that the magnetosheath signature of IP shocks is primarily a fast-mode shock or pressure pulse with a wide ramp. No model predicted secondary discontinuities could be identified above the magnetosheath background fluctuation level. Even though the interplanetary surface geometry of IP shocks could be significantly corrugated, this study suggests that there is no significant deceleration of the pressure front in the magnetosheath.
