| Abstract: | We review observations from Voyager 2 of CIRs and merged CIRs in the outer heliosphere. The rather simple characteristics
of the CIR-associated changes in plasma, magnetic field, and particles become more complex as observations are made at greater
and greater distances. Pickup ions from charge exchange undoubtedly play an important role in the structure, but the full
details are not yet understood.
