Solar and shock-accelerated protons were observed by the interplanetary S/C Giotto and aboard the earth orbiting satellite IMP-8 during solar minimum conditions in February 1986. Forward and reverse shock configurations developed on 9-11 February, 1986 and could be recognized by sunward and antisunward proton propagation. The results are consistent with a general east-west asymmetry in particle fluxes observed within a distance of 1 AU from the sun and caused by quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shock configurations in the interplanetary magnetic field. The high-energy protons (more than 1 GeV) measured simultaneously by ground-based neutron monitors showed a complementary enhanced amplitude in the diurnal variation on 9 February, 1986.
