Abstract We investigate the large scale flow pattern of 36–1600 keV protons observed in association with several large interplanetary shocks on ISEE-3 between August 1978 and April 1980. The distribution function in the solar wind frame and its temperal evolution indicates that these particles can behave as a coherent population in the solar wind. This population propagates along the magnetic field in the same direction as the solar wind flow, ahead of the shock, and in the opposite direction after the passage of the perturbed region associated with the shock.
