Periodicity in the solar wind velocity, temperature and number density

Abstract: The harmonic behaviour of the solar wind velocity, temperature and number density is investigated by analysing data from the Pioneer XII satellite operated during the period 1980–87. Power spectral analyses of six Fourier series formed from these observed data give a periodicity of 37 d for both the solar wind velocity and the temperature, but show a periodicity of 14 d in the solar wind number density. These periodic values are found to be similar to those obtained in the case of proton fluences and geomagnet… Show more

“…All of these models were used to study the interaction between solar wind parameters and magnetospheric plasma indices. The harmonic behavior of solar wind velocity, temperature and number density was investigated by analyzing data from the Pioneer XII satellite during 1980-1987(Das & Ghosh 1999. Studies by Das & Ghosh were about the periodicity of the solar wind velocity, density and temperature.…”
