Alfvén wave propagation in the solar corona and inner heliosphere.
Abstract
The author discusses some aspects of the propagation of Alfvén waves upward from the solar coronal base, where they are presumably generated, with particular emphasis on the effects of the large scale gradients on the transmission, the development of turbulence and wave dissipation.
