Characteristics of solar wind rotation

Li, K. J.; Feng, W.

Over 54 yr of hourly mean value of solar wind velocity from 1963 November 27 to 2017 December 31 are used to investigate characteristics of the rotation period of solar wind through autocorrelation analysis. Solar wind of high velocity is found to rotate faster than low-velocity wind, while its rotation rate increases with increasing velocity, but…
