Scientific paper

We study the waves within, and upstream of, the density enhancements in front of the magnetopause using magnetic field and plasma measurements from ISEE 1 and 2. The waves upstream of the density enhancements are most likely to be mirror modes and are convected with the magnetosheath flow. Within the density enhancements there is additional wave power at lower frequencies. These low frequency waves appear to be slow modes propagating sunward and quasi-standing in the flow. These observations lend support to the contention that the outer edge of the density enhancement is a slow mode wave front which marks the greatest distance that slow modes can propagate upstream into the solar wind.
