摘要
A study is carried out on the mean monthly values of in situ observations of solar wind velocity (V) and the intensity of interplanetary magnetic field, B to elucidate their long term variations using the technique of singular spectrum analysis. It is shown that B exhibits a clear solar cycle signal with progressively deepening minimum and a well-defined longer period variation but V is marked by a ~9-yr cycle. Time variations in the amplitude of 16-month periodicity, observed sporadically in the velocity earlier by others are clearly brought out, as also the characteristic amplitude changes in a 42-month signal in velocity. It appears that time intervals which show certain significant fluctuations in B are marked by the absence of similar signal in V.
