Alfven Waves and Turbulence in the Solar Atmosphere and Solar Wind
Alfven Waves and Turbulence in the Solar Atmosphere and Solar Wind
We solve the problem of propagation and dissipation of Alfvenic turbulence in a model solar atmosphere consisting of a static photosphere and chromosphere, transition region, and open corona and solar wind, using a phenomenological model for the turbulent dissipation based on wave reflection. We show that most of the dissipation …
