The complex solar events of March 1991 are evident as a large increase in the rate of occurrence of interplanetary shocks. Using Ulysses magnetic field and plasma measurements, 32 forward shocks and 7 reverse shocks have been identified in the 280 day interval from October 26, 1990 to August 1, 1991. The March events alone have produced 9 shocks, several in association with coronal mass ejections. The shocks have been identified and analyzed to find &thgr;BN, the speeds in the upstream solar wind, the Mach number and the inertial speeds along the radial and magnetic field directions. ¿American Geophysical Union 1992
