Abstract Features of strong interplanetary disturbances (including 14 shock waves) are considered by the solar wind plasma measurements onboard the PROGNOZ-8 satellite. Examination of large-scale structure of the plasma fluxes enabled us to discover extreme values of proton temperature (∼106 K) and density (∼102 cm −3) in some cases. The energy transferred by the interplanetary shock waves (1031–1032 erg) and their deceleration are estimated. Determination of the plasma parameter jumps for protons and α-particles at the shock front made it possible to estimate the potential barrier (40–400V) depending on magnetosonic Mach number.
