The remarkable success with which gas dynamic models characterize the plasma properties in the magnetosheath has to some degree diverted attention from certain inherently magnetohydrodynamic effects that are expected to introduce important modifications. Three recent aspects of magnetosheath observations: a slow mode structure near the subsolar point, flows at speeds in excess of the solar wind speed, and the shape of the internal boundary, i.e., the magnetopause, provide examples of inherently magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects.
