Intermittent character of interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations
Interplanetary magnetic field magnitude fluctuations are notoriously more intermittent than velocity fluctuations in both fast and slow wind. This behavior has been interpreted in terms of the anomalous scaling observed in passive scalars in fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence.

On an interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
Considerations suggesting the existence of an interplanetary magnetic field are presented. Such a field would not exceed about 5×10−8 gauss, and its presence can explain the observed cutoff in the primary cosmic-ray momentum spectrum. A field existing within the earth's orbit can account for all or part of the observed solar-terrestrial time delays in ...

In this work, we extend Leighton’s diffusion model describing the turbulent mixing of magnetic footpoints on the solar wind source surface. The present Lagrangian stochastic model is based on the spherical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with drift that is ...

Relationship of Transport Coefficients with Statistical Quantities of Charged Particles
In previous studies, a general spatial transport equation was derived from the Fokker–Planck equation. The latter equation contains an infinite number of spatial derivative terms T _n = κ _nz ∂ ^n F /∂ z ^n with n = 1, 2, 3, ⋯ .

Energetics of Shock-triggered Supersubstorms (SML < −2500 nT)
The solar wind energy input and dissipation in the magnetospheric–ionospheric systems of 17 supersubstorms (SSSs: SML < −2500 nT) triggered by interplanetary shocks during solar cycles 23 and 24 are studied in detail. The SSS events had durations ranging

Active Regions and the Interplanetary Magnetic Field [PDF]
The relation of solar active regions to the large-scale sector structure of the interplanetary field is discussed. In the winter of 1963–64 (observed by the satellite IMP-1) the plage density was greatest in the leading portion of the sectors and lesser in the trailing portion of the sectors. The boundaries of the sectors (places at which the direction

Are Switchback Boundaries Observed by Parker Solar Probe Closed?
Switchbacks are sudden and large deflections in the magnetic field that Parker Solar Probe frequently observes in the inner heliosphere. Their ubiquitous occurrence has prompted numerous studies to determine their nature and origin.

Does Magnetic Reconnection Occur in the Near Lunar Surface Environment?
The near lunar surface contains small‐scale magnetic field structures that provide a natural test bed for observing plasmas with a non‐zero Hall electric field, as well as potentially facilitating electron‐only reconnection.
