Interplanetary Scintillation Power Spectra [PDF]
Australian Journal of Physics, 1976 Power spectrum measurements of interplanetary scintillation at 408 MHz show that an inverse power law spectrum provides the best description for all scintillating radio sources. The inverse power law index is reasonably constant at ~ 2·4 for solar elongation angles 8 > 10°, and this agrees well with spacecraft observations.

Estimating random transverse velocities in the fast solar wind from EISCAT Interplanetary Scintillation measurements [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 Interplanetary scintillation measurements can yield estimates of a large number of solar wind parameters, including bulk flow speed, variation in bulk velocity along the observing path through the solar wind and random variation in transverse ...

Interplanetary Scintillations of Cosmic Rays
The Astrophysical Journal, 1973 Statistically significant broad-band fluctuations or 'scintillations' in the high-energy (T about 1 GeV) cosmic-ray flux observed by neutron monitors are interpreted. A mechanism by which interplanetary magnetic-field fluctuations induce cosmic-ray scintillations is presented and shown to be in quantitative agreement with observation.

EISCAT measurements of the solar wind [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 EISCAT observations of interplanetary scintillation have been used to measure the velocity of the solar wind at distances between 15 and 130 R⊙ (solar radii) from the Sun. The results show that the solar wind consists of two distinct components,

Observations of interplanetary scintillation in China [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractThe Sun affects the Earth in multiple ways. In particular, the material in interplanetary space comes from coronal expansion in the form of solar wind, which is the primary source of the interplanetary medium. Ground-based Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) observations are an important and effective method for measuring solar wind speed and ...

The use of various interplanetary scintillation indices within geomagnetic forecasts [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 Interplanetary scintillation (IPS), the twinkling of small angular diameter radio sources, is caused by the interaction of the signal with small-scale plasma irregularities in the solar wind.

Reconstruction of Helio-latitudinal Structure of the Solar Wind Proton Speed and Density [PDF]
, 2015 The modeling of the heliosphere requires continuous three-dimensional solar wind data. The in-situ out-of-ecliptic measurements are very rare, so that other methods of solar wind detection are needed.

Robust estimation of interplanetary scintillation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1992 Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) is a random process, so measurements of its power are affected by self-noise. The noise process is therefore nonstationary whenever the mean IPS power changes, such as when performing drift scans across a radio source.

A Overview of Interplanetary Scintillation Method for Studying Solar Wind Physics [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1988 Interplanetary scintillation is the fluctuation produced in the apparent brightness of a radio source, due to refractive effects in the turbulent solar wind flowing from the sun.
