Magnetic field and plasma data obtained by ISEE 2 experiments in the earth's foreschock region have been used, in conjunction with a shock model, to correlate with geometrical parameters the intensity of MHD turbulence and some moments of the distributions of back-streaming protons. The geometrical parameters are the distance of the observation point from the proton foreshock boundary and the distance from the shock surface. The results obtained allow a preliminary discussion of two basic problems of the physics of the foreshock. These are (1) the relative role of shock structure and/or wave particle interaction in determining the form of the backstreaming ion distributions and (2) the physical mechanisms determining the observed saturation of the MHD turbulence.
