摘要
An attempt is made to reconcile the different power laws obtained when relating, on the one hand, interplanetary scintillation (IPS) to solar-wind density and, on the other, density turbulence to density. A numerical experiment was performed using a 2-D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) model to simulate the solar wind in the ecliptic plane and then generating IPS g values by line-of-sight integration through the model solar wind. This simulation showed that any breakdown of the assumptions implicit in comparing a line-of-sight integral with a time average made near Earth was insufficient to account for the difference. © 1990.
