The component of the magnetic field that deviates from the plane defined by the shock normal and the upstream magnetic field is examined for low Mach number bow shocks. The integrated value of this noncoplanar component is compared to the predictions of Jones and Ellison (1987). A test of this relationship was first reported by Gosling et al. (1988) who found good agreement only at the two low Mach number shocks that were included in their study. Analysis of a more extensive collection of low Mach number shocks confirms the Jones and Ellison relationship at very low Mach numbers as well as its deterioration for higher Mach numbers. However, there also is an indication that the relationship may break down for shocks that are nearly perpendicular.
