Rapid density fluctuations in the solar wind
Electron density fluctuations (up to 2.5 Hz) in the solar wind have been studied, using the EFW experiment on the Cluster spacecraft, which measures density through measurements of the biased probe potentials relative to the spacecraft. The density fluctuation spectra obtained from the EFW probe potential variations are compared to earlier, OGO 5, measurements of ion density fluctuations and IS...
متن کاملAlfvénic fluctuations in “newborn” polar solar wind
The 3-D structure of the solar wind is strongly dependent upon the Sun’s activity cycle. At low solar activity a bimodal structure is dominant, with a fast and uniform flow at the high latitudes, and slow and variable flows at low latitudes. Around solar maximum, in sharp contrast, variable flows are observed at all latitudes. This last kind of pattern, however, is a relatively short-lived feat...
متن کاملSolar cycle dependence of scaling in solar wind fluctuations
In this review we collate recent results for the statistical scaling properties of fluctuations in the solar wind with a view to synthesizing two descriptions: that of evolving MHD turbulence and that of a scaling signature of coronal origin that passively propagates with the solar wind. The scenario that emerges is that of coexistent signatures which map onto the well known “two component” pic...
متن کاملSolar wind thermally induced magnetic fluctuations.
A kinetic description of Alfvén-cyclotron magnetic fluctuations for anisotropic electron-proton quasistable plasmas is studied. An analytical treatment, based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, consistently shows that spontaneous fluctuations in plasmas with stable distributions significantly contribute to the observed magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind, as seen, for example, in [S. D...
متن کاملDynamics of the Dissipation Range for Solar Wind Magnetic Fluctuations
The dissipation range of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) fluctuations is perhaps the least-studied aspect of the IMF. This is undoubtedly due, at least in part, to the large volume of data required to perform thorough studies of the high-frequency spectrum. We examine the properties of the dissipation range at 1 AU as observed by the WIND spacecraft, which include: (1) a general steepening ...
