Scientific paper

We discuss measurements of energetic ions from the LECP instruments on Voyager 1 (V1) and 2 (V2), made primarily in the inner heliosheath (HSH) downstream of the solar wind termination shock. The two features of these data described include: (1) intensity variations of suprathermal HSH ions measured at V1 and V2, and the clear association of these variations with solar wind stream interaction regions, as inferred from coronal hole maps; (2) efforts to separate spatial and temporal variations of HSH oxygen ions at both classical anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) energies >~3 MeV/nuc and at lower energies <~3 MeV/nuc.
