摘要: [1] We report new findings on the low-energy ion population associated with interplanetary (IP) shocks based Wind/Suprathermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS) observations. Suprathermal ions (6–200 keV) are present in upstream region of most (86%) IP at 1 AU. These foreshock characterized by (1) median energy >25 keV, that is, higher than a thermal distribution; (2) spectra increase intensity range 10–30 keV; (3) flow predominantly outward (antisunward). In months surveyed, all forward speeds >30 km/s showed least one above features. Because these characteristics so often seen foreshocks, 5 to 100 keV can be used provide advance warning (∼5–72 hours) disturbances drivers hazardous geomagnetic storms. preshock suprathermal could readily monitored future space weather missions order predict arrival initiate events; here we define measurement requirements and describe implementation such an instrument.
