The Evolution of the 1/f Range Within a Single Fast-Solar-Wind Stream Between 17.4 and 45.7 Solar Radii

The power spectrum of magnetic-field fluctuations in the fast solar wind ($V_{\rm SW}> 500 \mbox{ km} \mbox{ s}^{-1}$) at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales is characterized by two different power laws on either side of a break frequency $f_{\rm b}$. The low-frequency range at frequencies $f$ smaller than $f_{\rm b}$ is often viewed as the energy reservoir that feeds the turbulent cascade at $f>f_{\rm b}$. At heliocentric distances $r$ exceeding $60$ solar radii ($R_{\rm s}$), the power spectrum often has a $1/f$ scaling at $f更多
