Interaction regions between adjacent solar wind streams have been identified between 1 and 5 AU by using Pioneer 10 and 11 magnetic field and plasma measurements. Beyond 1 AU, a relatively large fraction of the interaction regions have been found to be accompanied by either forward shocks, reverse shocks, or shock pairs. The observations are consistent with previous theoretical proposals that the interaction between adjacent streams leads to the development of corotating interplanetary shocks. (AIP)
