Scientific paper

Analyses of data from the scientific instrument designed to study solar wind and plasma wave phenomena on the International Sun Earth Explorer 3 are presented. Plasma turbulence upstream and downstream of interplanetary shocks was detected. The microscopic plasma waves associated with interplanetary shocks were studied in the broad context of a discussion of some potential contributions to collisionless shock and cosmic ray acceleration theories. The central issue here was whether heated ions create magnetohydrodynamic turbulence as part of the quasi-parallel shock structure. The analysis suggests that the plasma physics near the Earth's bow shock may apply to interplanetary shocks on a far larger scale. Additional analyses concerning whistler mode wave propagation and Earth's foreshock structure are briefly described.
