โœฆ Synopsis

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 velocity shears and of the asymmetry in the orientation of tangential discontinuities, an East-West asymmetry in the solar-wind speed is inferred: Fast streams should tend to come from the West and slow streams from the East with respect to the average direction. This effect is discussed in relation to the rotation of the sun.

## Abstract Two methods are described to determine local parameters of the unsteady asymmetric plasma. The basis of one method is the parametric approach. This method is used to determine plasma parameters in the case when an assumption can be made on the shape of the intensity isolines. The temper

The noise in photographic measurements of solar velocities and magnetic fields is assumed to be essentially determined by the granularity of the film, its gamma, the scanning spot size and the parameters of the specific spectral line. A formula is derived which serves for a quantitative estimate of
