Scientific paper

A thick quasi-parallel bow shock structure was observed on February 14, 1969, with field and particle detectors of both Heos 1 and Ogo 5. The typical magnetic pulsation structure was at least 1-2 R-E thick radially and was accompanied by irregular but distinct (average) plasma distributions characteristic of neither the solar wind nor the magnetosheath. There appeared to be a separate 'interpulsation' regime occurring between bursts of large amplitude oscillations. This regime was magnetically similar to the upstream wave region but was characterized by disturbed plasma flux and enhanced noise around the ion plasma frequency. The shock structure appeared to be largely of an oblique whistler type, probably complicated by counterstreaming high-energy protons.
