Abstract
In recent months correlated measurements from the OGO-5 particle, field and wave experiments have been used to study in detail the microscopic structure of the earth’s bow shock. As described in a series of preliminary reports [1, 2, 3, 4], instabilities driven by currents at steep magnetic field gradients generally produce large amplitude electrostatic waves. The electrostatic turbulence then interacts strongly with the plasma particles, and this provides a primary shock dissipation mechanism.
