By analyzing observational data, it has been possible to determine quantitative relationships that represent the role of the interaction of fast and slow solar wind (SW) streams in the formation of characteristic SW properties at the Earth's orbit. It is shown that maximum values of magnetic field
The non-linear saturation of whistler mode instability in the solar wind is considered here. The resulting heating and acceleration are calculated. It is shown that this instability heats predominantly the a-particles and the ratio of heating rates of a-particles to ions have been calculated. This i
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
