“…The best known example of such regions is plasma wave turbulence in front of the Earth's bow shock [e.g., Russell and Hoppe, 1983; Le and Russell, 1994; Blanco-Cano et al, 1999]. Interplanetary blast shocks generated by solar flares display similar structures [Kennel et al, 1982[Kennel et al, , 1984Lee, 1983]. Therefore the magnetosphere is exposed to the interplanetary upstream wave turbulence some time before the SI.…”
