The multi-scale nature of the solar wind

D Verscharen, KG Klein, BA Maruca - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior
associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length …
