Solar Wind Theory

Space Science Reviews, 1983
Some advances in the hydrodynamical large-scale theory, on the one hand, and in the kinetic theory, on the other hand, of the solar wind are reviewed. For brevity, we sketch the general frame, point out the problems and approaches and then illustrate by a few examples the ways in which progress has been achieved during the past four years.

The solar wind

Solar Physics, 1985
The current status of our understanding of the nature and origin of the solar wind is briefly reviewed, with emphasis being placed on the need for wave-particle interactions to account for the main energy source as well as details of the particle distribution functions.

Solar and solar-wind isotopic compositions

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004
With only a few exceptions, the solar photosphere is thought to have retained the mean isotopic composition of the original solar nebula, so that, with some corrections, the photosphere provides a baseline for comparison of all other planetary materials. There are two sources of information on the photospheric isotopic composition: optical observations,

ACCELERATION OF THE SOLAR WIND

Space Science Reviews, 1982
In this review, we discuss critically recent research on the acceleration of the solar wind, giving emphasis to high-speed solar wind streams emanating from solar coronal holes. We first explain why thermally driven wind models constrained by solar and interplanetary observations encounter substantial difficulties in explaining high speed streams. Then,

Interdependence of solar wind models and solar wind observations

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1997
A brief overview of the observations in the inner corona is presented together with three different solar wind models. It is shown that the very high flow speeds derived from the observations in the inner corona can be modeled if either the proton temperature is extremely high, or if there exists a mechanism that adds momentum to the flow much closer ...

SOLAR/WIND POWER PLANTS

Solar & Wind Technology, 1986
Abstract This paper discusses the background, theory, design, construction, costs and economics of solar/wind power plants and provides a brief description of the 50 kW plant which has been built in Spain to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept and to verify the theoretical work.

Solar Wind Correlations: Using a Solar Wind Monitor Successfully

1999
Solar wind plasma correlations between data from three spacecraft — IMP 8, INTERBALL-1, and WIND — are analyzed for periods near the most recent solar minimum. There are two primary foci of this study: 1) to understand the physics underlying good and poor correlation periods, and 2) to investigate and quantify the degree to which distant solar wind ...
