Abstract content
We combined solar wind observations from five different spacecraft: Helios 1, Helios 2, IMP-8, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, from November 1977 to February 1978, to study the structure of the solar wind streams and the propagation of interplanetary shocks, interaction regions and ejecta. Comparing the in-situ observations is possible to illuminate some aspects of these events such as their longitudinal extent, radial evolution, and local structures.
