Solar wind proton temperature anisotropy: Linear theory and WIND/SWE observations

We present a comparison between WIND/SWE observations (Kasper et al., 2006) of β ∥ p and T ⊥ p / T ∥ p (where β ∥ p is the proton parallel beta and T ⊥ p and T ∥ p are the perpendicular and parallel proton temperatures, respectively; here parallel and perpendicular indicate directions with respect t...
