Scientific paper

The characteristics and interrelationships of upstream suprathermal particles and plasma waves observed in the earth's foreshock region are examined on the basis of data from eight instruments, including the University of Iowa Lepedeas, and plasma wave instruments, the Berkeley high time resolution particle detectors, and the UCLA magnetometer on ISEE 1 and 2. It is found that suprathermal ions in the foreshock region travel along the magnetic field away from the bow shock. It is also found that ions observed in the foreshock region display gyrophase organization produced by ion clusters with a spatial scale of less than 1 Rg, and that dispersed ion distributions are produced primarily by direct sources at or near the bow shock.
