Very strong compressed magnetic field in the sheath region, in the possible cloud (the region with lower density and lower temperature) the magnetic field is pretty week. Given the high velocities before and after the low density region, there may be some CIR involvement. I think there is a CME here, but not a particularly strong flux rope. Given the weak magnetic field, possibly a flank passing event (Hess)

A combination of SWEPAM and MAG data from the ACE Satellite:
