Abstract
Abstract Observations of the interplanetary scintillation of radio sources using spaced receivers enable the size and motion of plasma irregularities in the solar wind to be studied. It has been noted previously that the scale of these irregularities is of the order of the ion gyroradius in the medium, and in this paper it is shown that the scale increases with distance from the Sun.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
