Density fluctuation spectrum of solar wind turbulence between ion and electron scales.
We present a measurement of the spectral index of density fluctuations between ion and electron scales in solar wind turbulence using the EFI instrument on the ARTEMIS spacecraft. The mean spectral index at 1 AU was found to be -2.75±0.06, steeper than predictions for pure whistler or kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence but consistent with previous magnetic field measurements. The steep spectra are ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional spatial structures of solar wind turbulence from 10 000-km to 100-km scales
Using the four Cluster spacecraft, we have determined the three-dimensional wave-vector spectra of fluctuating magnetic fields in the solar wind. Three different solar wind intervals of Cluster data are investigated for this purpose, representing three different spatial scales: 10 000 km, 1000 km, and 100 km. The spectra are determined using the wave telescope technique (k-filtering technique) ...
متن کاملSelf Organising Maps of Solar Wind Structures
Two Self Organising Map neural networks have been trained to classify structures in the solar wind, one using Bz, n, and V, and the other using p and E. The classification has been done for values of the Dst index at -50, -100, -150, -200, and -250 nT, for events where the gradient of n and V exceeded a certain threshold (shocks as a result of coronal mass ejections) and for events where the gr...
متن کاملSolar cycle variations of solar wind dynamics and structures
This paper reviews solar cycle variations in the heliosphere. We show that some solar cycle changes, such as the correlation between speed and density, result from the evolution of the solar structure from dipolar with strong latitudinal gradients at solar minimum to a disordered field with little latitudinal variation at solar maximum. Other changes, such as the variation of the solar wind dyn...
متن کاملAnisotropy of solar wind turbulence between ion and electron scales.
The anisotropy of turbulence in the fast solar wind, between the ion and electron gyroscales, is directly observed using a multispacecraft analysis technique. Second order structure functions are calculated at different angles to the local magnetic field, for magnetic fluctuations both perpendicular and parallel to the mean field. In both components, the structure function value at large angles...
