✦ Synopsis

The morphology and physical characteristics of the extended solar wind transsonic region, an intrinsically unique regime of the heliosphere, are described. It is here where the primary acceleration of the solar wind occurs and both subsonic and supersonic plasma flows co-exist and interact. This concept of 'mixed flow' has evolved from an analysis of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) data that reveal the solar wind stream structure and anomalous scattering within the solar wind transsonic region.

The current status of our understanding of the nature and origin of the solar wind is briefly reviewed, with emphasis being placed on the need for wave-particle interactions to account for the main energy source as well as details of the particle distribution functions. There has been considerable p
