A first step in a comparative study is made between simulations and ISEE satellite observations of quasi‐parallel interplanetary shocks. In this study we compare the magnetic field structures for three shock cases. A hybrid code is used in the simulation which is found to reproduce reasonably well the overall structures of low Mach number quasi‐parallel shocks in the laminar regime. The frequency, wavelength, and wave amplitude deduced from simulations are in reasonable agreement with observations.
