Interplanetary Shocks Observed by WIND:

This is a preliminary list of possible interlanetary shocks.   It is not comprehensive, but should contain most of the major Interplanetary Shocks.    Click on the date to see the daily summary plot.  Some events can be seen in higher time resolution by clicking on the time. Please contact Davin Larson if you have questions. Another list of interplanetary shocks is maintained by the MFI team.
 

Q:     0=Probably not a shock;   1=Weak;   2=Moderate;   3=Strong
Mode:  FF=Fast Forward   FR=Fast Reverse   SF=Slow Forward    SR=Slow Reverse
An "*" indicates events also found in the ISTP catolog as of Sep. 29, 1997.
