Scientific paper

An intermediate shock-like event was observed by Voyager 2 on 9 January 1979. The discontinuity structure is well identified to be a 2→3 type intermediate shock by fitting the Rankine - Hugoniot relations. The shock satisfies the following conditions: i) the plasma density increases from the upstream region to the downstream region, ii) The normal Alfvén Mach number ( M AN) is greater than unity in the preshock state and less than unity in the postshock state, iii) The fast-mode Mach numbers in the upstream and downstream regions are less than unity and both the slow-mode Mach numbers are greater than unity, iv) The tangential component of the magnetic field changes sign across the shock front.
