Origin of strong interplanetary shocks

Abstract

Observations of 900 radio sources have been used to study the shape and motion of large-scale interplanetary transients associated with shock disturbances at 1 AU. The variations of plasma density and speed and the zones in the solar atmosphere from which the transients originate suggest an origin related to intermittent flows of enhanced speed from coronal holes at mid-latitudes on the Sun.
