Scientific paper

Results are reported from ground- and space-based observations of shocks and shock-associated disturbances traveling at different angles to the sun-earth line. The observational technique involves correlations of shock data recorded in terms of radio scintillations at a variety of sites on the earth. A total of 96 events were recorded from August 1978-September 1979, consisting of erupting streams and longer duration co-rotating interaction regions. A significant east-west asymmetry was detected, which is taken to indicate that the inclination of the interplanetary magnetic field to the shock surface is a significant factor in the acceleration of charged particles.
