Scientific paper

With ISEE 3 and WIND data, we have studied cases where the solar wind density exceeded 30 cm-3 at two different phases of the solar cycle, and a distinct pattern emerges. Superposed on the broad regions of elevated density in the slow flow are minutes-to-hours-long density peaks of pressure balance structures. Most of the high-density events result from intensification of these pressure balance structures owing to compression over a day-long time scale, usually in the sheaths of ejecta at solar maximum and in corotating interaction regions at solar minimum. The data indicate that the pressure balance structures have a transient source.
