Scientific paper

A new method to present, to determine and to classify shocks from in situ measurements is developed, using normalized velocities up- and down-stream in a velocity V1-V2 diagram. With this method one can show how the observed shock solutions vary with different time averages over the data from the up- and down-stream region. Some shock events have been analyzed. The Helios measurements show, that the solutions for the fast forward shock are confined well in the 1-->2 region. The different solutions, obtained by means of straightforward averages with different time intervals, are somewhat distributed in the normalized V1-V2 diagram. But only the shock solutions which are consistent with the Rankine-Hugoniot relations and an entropy increase really define a particular shock.
