✦ Synopsis

l'he radial dependencies of four solar wind parameters (plasma density .V, \clocity ~, temperature T, and n3agnilude of the intcrplallelary magnetic field 13) are derived fron3 remote scnsin,.g, data of the s;olar corolla and from i17 silt; measurenlents in the hcliosphere (Helios-l, 2. Pioneer-10. I I. and Voyager-I, 2). [!sing dotll31y logarithmic scaling ('solar wind parameter vs radial clislancc froln the Sun') one rinds txvo distincl intervals in Ihe ecliptic, i.e., an cxponcnlial scctiou wilhin, approximatel.,,', the inner heliospherc and a linear section -up to at least 61 AU -in thc outer heliosphere.
