The data obtained by the AMPTE IRM spacecraft in the solar wind near the earth's bow shock were examined to verify earlier observations by ISEE 1 and 2 and AMPTE UKS on the presence near the earth's bow shock of three-dimensional plasma structures with anomalous flow directions. The results of new observations revealed presence of 16 well-defined cases where a region of hot subsonic plasma was embedded in the solar wind and confirmed some of the earlier findings, showing a hot, low-density core flanked by narrow regions of high density and strong magnetic field. In addition, low flow velocities (of about 200 km/s), strongly deflected from the solar wind, were found. Some discrepancies between the present results and the reported ISEE results were also noted, and the reasons for these discrepancies are discussed.
