Summary of the combined ACE (SWEPAM, EPAM) and Wind (PESA-High) data sets for two interplanetary shocks upwind of the Earth that are spatially and temporally close. The observed upstream SWEPAM data are used to construct the input Maxwellian thermal solar wind distribution for which the injection energy and spectrum of energetic particles (dashed line) is computed theoretically. Additionally, the κ-distribution for κ = 10 and corresponding energetic particles (dotted lines) are also computed. EPAM and Wind data are overplotted for 10 minutes before (black) and after (red) the shock arrival time.
