Spectral properties of the solar wind

Abstract

This paper deals with experimental investigations of the spectral properties of solar wind turbulence during transition from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to kinetic regimes of a magnetized plasma. The study is based on the measurements of solar wind parameters with very high time resolution, which was achieved using the BMSW instrument designed and developed at the Department of Surface and Plasma Sciences of Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague.

The results of these investigations can be applied not only for astrophysical plasmas but also for plasmas in fusion systems.
