Scientific paper

Attention is given to interplanetary shock observations conducted since 1978, with emphasis on shocks associated with such solar transient phenomena as coronal transients and eruptive prominences, as well as with flares. A correlation between shocks and Storm Sudden Commencements is found to persist into the recent maximum, and shocks associated with disappearing filaments and coronal transients rather than with flares have been identified. Preliminary results on the thickness of interplanetary shocks have been obtained, and several quasi-parallel shocks have been identified which propagate along, rather than across, the magnetic field. The plasma drivers that accompany interplanetary shocks exhibit distinctive features in electric, ion and magnetic field data.
