Radial evolution of solar wind intermittency in the inner heliosphere
We analyzed intermittency in the solar wind, as observed on the ecliptic plane, looking at magnetic field and velocity fluctuations between 0.3 and 1 AU, for both fast and slow wind and for compressive and directional fluctuations. Our analysis focused on the property that probability distribution functions of a fluctuating field affected by intermittency become more and more peaked at smaller ...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind in the Outer Heliosphere
This paper reviews solar wind observations in the outer heliosphere, concentrating on new developments in the past 3 years. Voyager 2 has detected an increase in speed and decrease in normalized density, consistent with spending more time in the fast polar ow as it moves to higher heliolatitudes. The proton temperatures continue the increase which began at about 35 AU. We describe a new feature...
متن کاملCharged particle composition in the inner heliosphere during the rise to maximum of Solar Cycle 23
Abstract. Flux distributions and abundances relative to oxygen of interplanetary ions (Z > 1) are statistically studied and compared for measurements made at 1 and at ~ 5 AU on the ACE and the Ulysses spacecraft near the ecliptic plane. Over the nearly two year interval studied, the distributions of the relative abundances and the fluxes of particles at the two locations are found to be approxi...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind in the Outer Heliosphere and Heliosheath
The solar wind environment has a large influence on the transport of cosmic rays. This chapter discusses the observations of the solar wind plasma and magnetic field in the outer heliosphere and the heliosheath. In the supersonic solar wind, interaction regions with large magnetic fields form barriers to cosmic ray transport. This effect, the “CR-B” relationship, has been quantified and is show...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind : Probing the Heliosphere with Multiple
The combination of the Voyager spacecraft in the outer heliosphere, Ulysses at high latitudes, and multiple solar wind monitors near Earth provides a unique opportunity to study the global structure and evolution of the solar wind. From solar minimum to solar maximum the latitudinal gradients of density and speed reverse so that at solar maximum speeds are higher near the solar equator, but sol...
