Journal ArticleDOI
Solar wind oscillations with a 1.3 year period
TL;DR: The Interplanetary Monitoring Platform 8 (IMP-8) and Voyager 2 spacecraft have recently detected a very strong modulation in the solar wind speed with an approximately 1.3 year period as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radial evolution of the solar wind from IMP 8 to Voyager 2
TL;DR: Voyager 2 and Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP) 8 data from 1977 through 1994 are presented and compared in this article, with the Voyager 2 temperature profile best fit with a R(exp -0.49 +/- 0.01) decrease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma and magnetic field correlations in the solar wind
TL;DR: In this paper, data from multiple spacecraft are used to determine solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) correlation coefficients, which provide information on solar wind scale lengths and the predictive capability of upstream monitors for space weather purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a solar wind slowdown in the outer heliosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the predicted slowdown of the solar wind with heliospheric distance was investigated using the data from the Voyager 2 and IMP 8 spacecraft and was found to be consistent with a pickup ion density equal to 8% of the total ion density.

TL;DR: In this article, a Wind spacecraft crossing of the lowlatitude dusk flank magnetosheath, magnetopause (MP), and the low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) when the local magnetic shear across the MP was low (<30°) and the interplanetary magnetic field was northward was observed.
