(1984). Plasma and energetic particle structure upstream of a quasi-parallel interplanetary shock. Journal of Geophysical Research 89: doi: 10.1029/JA089iA07p05419. issn: 0148-0227.

This paper assembles ISEE 1, 2, and 3 observations of the interplanetary magnetic and electric fields, plasma, magnetohydrodynamic waves, electromagnetic and electrostatic plasma waves, 1- to 6-keV protons and electrons, and >30-keV/Q ions for the interplanetary shock of November 12, 1978. The shock was high speed (640 km s-1), supercritical, quasi-parallel, and an efficient accelerator of energetic protons. The flux of >35-keV protons increased by a factor of 15 in the last 45 min and 270 RE before shock encounter. The >10-keV proton energy density approached that of the magnetic field and thermal plasma upstream of the shock. The shock was inside a closed magnetic structure that was connected at both ends to the shock. The intensity of ion acoustic and low-frequency MHD waves increased inside the closed magnetic bubble.
