Abstract
Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter data are used to investigate the radial evolution of magnetic turbulence between 0.06≲ R≲ 1 au. The spectrum is studied as a function of scale, normalized to the ion inertial scale d i. In the vicinity of the Sun, the inertial range is limited to a narrow range of scales and exhibits a power-law exponent of, α B=− 3/2, independent of plasma parameters. The inertial range grows with distance, progressively extending to larger spatial scales, while steepening toward a α B=− 5/3 scaling. It is observed that spectra for intervals with large magnetic energy excesses and low Alfvénic content steepen significantly with distance, in contrast to highly Alfvénic intervals that retain their near-Sun scaling. The occurrence of steeper spectra in slower wind streams may be attributed to the observed positive correlation between solar wind speed and Alfvénicity.
