Scientific paper

Using color-coded plots of the ISEE-3 solar wind electron data and magnetic field data from ISEE-3 for the period from August 1978 through February 1980, evidence was obtained on two transient disturbances which contained reverse shocks in addition to forward shocks. These disturbances are considered to be associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In the stronger of the two disturbances, the reverse shock was found within the CME and was separated from the forward shock by about 0.2 AU; the pressure between the two shocks was nearly constant. In the weaker disturbance, the reverse shock propagated entirely through the CME, trailing the forward shock by about 0.3-0.4 AU; the pressure between the shocks declined substantially and monotonically. Each disturbance profile can be compared favorably with one of the simple one-dimensional fluid simulations used by Hundhausen (1985) to illustrate the general principles underlying transient disturbance propagation in the solar wind.
