A model is used to examine the motion of specularly reflected ions in the presence of large-amplitude, monochromatic, transverse MHD waves. The calculations of ion trajectories are described. The heating downstream from the quasi-parallel bow shock is analyzed. The relationship between the specularly reflected ions and their gyrospeeds and guiding center speeds is studied. The data reveal that the characteristics of the motion depend on the frequency, wavelength, phase, and amplitude of the wave that is converted into the shock.
