Fractal structure of the interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
Under some conditions, time series of the interplanetary magnetic field strength and components have the properties of fractal curves. Magnetic field measurements made near 8.5 AU by Voyager 2 from June 5 to August 24, 1981 were self-similar over time ...

Non-Gaussian statistics in space plasma turbulence, fractal properties and pitfalls
Magnetic field fluctuations in the vicinity of the Earth's bow shock have been investigated with the aim to characterize the intermittent behaviour of strong plasma turbulence. The observed small-scale intermittency may be the signature of a multifractal

How are Forbush decreases related to interplanetary magnetic field enhancements ?
Aims. Forbush decrease (FD) is a transient decrease followed by a gradual recovery in the observed galactic cosmic ray intensity. We seek to understand the relationship between the FDs and near-Earth interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) enhancements ...

Abstract We study the radial evolution of the inertial-range solar wind plasma turbulence and its anisotropy in the outer heliosphere. We use magnetic field ( B ) measurements from the Voyager 2 spacecraft for heliocentric distances R from 1 to 33 au.

Roles of Fast-Cyclotron and Alfven-Cyclotron Waves for the Multi-Ion Solar Wind
Using linear Vlasov theory of plasma waves and quasi-linear theory of resonant wave-particle interaction, the dispersion relations and the electromagnetic field fluctuations of fast and Alfven waves are studied for a low-beta multi-ion plasma in the ...

Comparison of deep space and near-earth observations of plasma turbulence at solar wind discontinuities [PDF]
Simultaneous observations of plasma waves from the electric field instruments on Pioneer 9 and OGO 5 are used to illustrate the difference between near-earth and deep space conditions.
