Diagnosis of magnetic structures and intermittency in space-plasma turbulence using the technique of surrogate data

Sahraoui, F.

Intermittency is usually identified in turbulent flows as non-Gaussian tails of the probability density functions (PDFs) of the turbulent field derivatives. Here we investigate the role of phase coherence among the Fourier modes in creating intermittency in magnetized space plasmas using the technique of surrogate data. We apply the technique to t…
