| Abstract: | The
characteristics of discontinuities associated with interplanetary coronal mass
ejections and their distribution in the heliosphere have been studied in
detail. For this, jumps in solar wind plasma parameters like wind velocity, IMF
and proton density across the shocks and discontinuities have been evaluated
and used to characterize them. The distribution of the plasma parameters across
the discontinuities with respect to heliolatitude and with radial distance from
the Sun have been analyzed using the Ulysses data taken during its three orbits
around the Sun. |
