It is pointed out that more definitive shock velocity observations near the sun are needed for an improved determination of the extent of shock deceleration from the sun to earth. Woo and Armstrong (1981) have demonstrated the use of radio scattering and scintillation observations, using spacecraft signals, for measuring interplanetary shock waves near the sun. Woo and Armstrong provided the first near-sun profiles of solar wind speed and electron density fluctuation for a shock wave produced by a solar flare. The present investigation has the objective to demonstrate the use of Doppler or phase scintillations for monitoring and observing interplanetary shocks. It is also shown that Doppler noise, a parameter which is routinely observed and recorded by the NASA Deep Space Network, is essentially a measure of Doppler scintillations.
