Abstract Low energy proton measurements associated with interplanetary MHD discontinuities were detected by the DFH instrument on ISEE-3 spacecraft during the solar maximum period, September 1978–March 1980. The observations were made by three detectors, within eight sectors 45°wide each around the spacecraft, in eight energy channels extended from 35–1600Kev. They confirm that local magnetohydrodynamic conditions, especially discontinuities, significantly affect the propagation of low energy particles in the interplanetary medium.
