Scientific paper

Interplanetary shocks and discontinuities observed by the Ames Research Center plasma probe on Pioneer 6 and 7 are analyzed with Goddard Space Flight Center magnetometer data. Several shock normals are used for the MHD model of a shock where the mixed data shock normals, which use plasma and magnetic-field data, give the best agreement with the theoretical requirements. The requirements are the satisfaction of the Rankine-Hugoniot conservation equations across the shock where angles (predicted theoretically from the conservation equations) between certain combinations of plasma and magnetic-field data vectors in the shock normals are explicitly checked. The results for the August 29, 1966, shock are compared with previous results.
