Scientific paper

IMP 8 has measured solar wind parameters since 1973 near Earth. Voyager 2 has observed the solar wind at increasing heliospheric distances since 1977. This paper presents a statistical study of shock parameters from these two spacecraft supplemented with WIND data after 1994. As expected, a solar cycle dependence of shock frequency is observed. We determine shock strength and angles and report their time variation near Earth. We also compare shock frequencies and characteristics at 1 AU with those observed by Voyager 2 out to 60 AU.
