Abstract
En 中文
A survey of propagating interplanetary shocks reveals the following properties: (1) More shocks are observed around solar-activity maximum than minimum. (2) The maximum frequency of shock occurrence is between 2 and 5 AU. (3) Shocks slow down in the inner solar system, but in the outer solar system some may get a boost in speed when overtaken by a following shock. (4) The average shock strength (as measured by either the Mach number or the density ratio) also reaches peak values at distances of 2-5 AU. (5) Shocks are stronger at their noses than at their flanks. (6) At 1 AU, there are many more quasiperpendicular than quasiparallel shocks with the frequency of occurrence roughly constant with the cosine of the angle between the upstream field and the shock normal.
