Non-WKB Alfvén waves in the solar wind: propagation and reflection of pulses
Abstract
We study the propagation and reflection of waves in the solar wind using the system impulse response. We find that the ingoing Elsässer variable tends to accumulate as a random walk with a `memory' of several days, and that the corona has a tendency to `ring' with a period of several hours.
