Scientific paper
A macroscopic examination of field and particle properties of the bow shock recorded on November 5, 1977, identified earlier as stable features by comparison of Isee 1 and 2 data, is presented. Attention is given to the extent to which the shock was in a typical state, and multidiagnostic observations are combined to define the shock profile. It is found that the shock profile offered several unanticipated structural features, which include a variable directional profile of the reflected proton group passing through the front, an electrostatic boundary effect associated with the reflected protons upstream, and an oscillatory buildup of proton thermalization behind the overshoot portion of the shock signature.
