It is noted that as a result of the ISEE 1 and 2 missions, it was found that return ions, that is, ions streaming into the solar wind away from the bow shock, are comprised of separate classes having distinguishable energy and directional distributions. In addition, each of these classes of return ions, which are essentially all protons, is associated with its own level of upstream magnetic wave activity. It is shown that each class is also associated with a particular section of the foreshock determined by the IMF and the energies of the particles themselves. A series of schematic figures depicting the IMF-shock geometry for selected instants during the first two hours of ISEE particle data of November 8, 1977, is presented.
