Solar cycle dependence of scaling in solar wind fluctuations [PDF]

, 2008
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 ...

Machine Learning for Local Detection of Separators in Three‐Dimensional Magnetic Fields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a major plasma phenomenon occurring in various key environments ranging from the Sun and near‐Earth space to astrophysical plasmas. While magnetic reconnection is relatively well‐understood under two‐dimensional (2D) settings, it remains challenging to characterize in three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic fields.

Interplay of Large-scale Drift and Turbulence in the Heliospheric Propagation of Solar Energetic Particles

The Astrophysical Journal
The gradient and curvature of the Parker spiral interplanetary magnetic field give rise to curvature and gradient guiding-center drifts on cosmic rays (CRs). The plasma turbulence present in interplanetary space is thought to suppress the drifts; however,

INFLUENCE OF THE SOLAR WIND ON INTERFEROMETRIC OBSERVATIONS AT THE DECAMETER WAVELENGTHS [PDF]

Radio Physics and Radio Astronomy, 2020
Purpose: The effect of the Earth’s ionosphere and interplanetary plasma on the radio astronomy observations, in particular, interferometric ones, at decameter waves has been investigated.

Electron and proton heating by solar wind turbulence

, 2009
Previous formulations of heating and transport associated with strong magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are generalized to incorporate separate internal energy equations for electrons and protons. Electron heat conduction is included.

On the fractal nature of the magnetic field energy density in the solar wind [PDF]

, 2007
The solar wind exhibits scaling typical of intermittent turbulence in the statistics of in situ fluctuations in both the magnetic and velocity fields.

Identifying and Predicting Coronal Mass Ejection Occurrence: Observational Checklists for Space Weather Forecasters

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

Heliospheric Diffusion of Stochastic Parker Spirals in Radially Evolving Solar Wind Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
 We present a stochastic field line mapping model where the interplanetary magnetic field lines are described by a density distribution function satisfying a Fokker–Planck equation that is solved numerically.

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human‐Produced Mass‐Loading

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While humans become more reliant on Earth's space environment, the potential for significant harm from severe space weather continues to grow. As structures from the sun reach Earth's magnetosphere and space environment, they deposit energy that fuels geomagnetic storms.

Radial evolution of cross helicity in high-latitude solar wind

, 2005
We employ a turbulence transport theory to explain the high-latitude radial evolution of cross helicity, or Alfvénicity, observed by the Ulysses spacecraft.
