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
Periods of very low solar wind velocity at 1 AU, during the interval from 1977 to 1983, are identified and mapped back to the coronal source surface at 2.5 R o. In total 25 such low-velocity events were found. Inferred source locations were characterized with respect to their position relative to th
The effects of the large scale gradients generated by the solar wind expansion are taken into account to estimate the turbulent flux from nonlinear interactions among inward and outward propagating AlfvΓ©n waves. It is shown that even if all inward propagating waves are lost in the acceleration regio
