During September 28 and 29, 1978, the ISEE 3 spacecraft observed several distinct types of high-speed solar wind flows when a coronal hole-associated high-speed stream was followed by two interplanetary shocks, one of which was driven by flare ejecta contained in a "magnetic cloud" or interplanetary "plasmoid". Using the University of Maryland/Max-Planck-Institut ultralow energy charge analyzer (ULECA) on ISEE 3, the authors present solar wind Fe and Si/S charge state and Fe density measurements for the different plasma regimes associated with the flare-related shock and combine these measurements with the Los Alamos National Laboratory proton observations to obtain iron/hydrogen density ratios and iron/hydrogen velocity differences. The authors place special emphasis on the postshock shell of turbulent and compressed ambient solar wind and interplanetary magnetic fields constituting the "sheath region" preceding the driver plasma.
