The solar coronal exosphere (fixed at a level where the mean free path is comparable with the scale height) is shown to act like the sheath in a laboratory discharge that builds up an excess positive charge and electric field. Equality of flux for the charged particles (protons and electrons) at the
Changes in magnetic-field and plasma data from Pioneer 6 across selected discontinuities are found to agree with those predicted for tangential discontinuities. Substantial velocity shears are found across the discontinuities, the largest observed being about 80 km/scc. From the observation of veloc
