Physics of the solar wind for the 1975–1978 IUUG Quadrennial Report

Abstract: The quadrennium 1975–1978 was a period of great advance for solar‐wind studies, a period that combined exploration of new regions with increased maturity in established fields of study. The Helios, Pioneer, and Voyager spacecraft have been exploring the inner and outer regions of the solar wind. There has been a rebirth of the study of possible relations between solar variability and Earth's climate and weather, stimulated largely by Eddy's [1976] investigation of the Maunder Minimum; the solar wind may well p… Show more

“…Soon after the discovery of the solar wind it was realized (Barnes 1979a(Barnes , 1979bBelcher and Davis 1971;Coleman 1966;Unti and Neugebauer 1968) that the fluctuations in the magnetic field and velocity were often so highly correlated that they appeared as nearly perfect Alfvén waves (Alfvén 1950). If one normalizes the fluctuating magnetic field, b, by dividing by √ μ 0 ρ (where ρ is the mass density), Alfvén waves are defined by v = ±b, where v is the fluctuating component of the velocity.…”
