    Description: A temperature profile in 1.3 mm radiation with about 300 km resolution at the sun was obtained during the total eclipse of 1991. The observations indicate that spicules reach a temperature of 8000 K at 3000-4000 km above the photosphere. This temperature is lower than those of many spicule models.

    Description: The Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO) is a triple coronagraph being jointly developed for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission. LASCO comprises three nested coronagraphs (C1, C2, and C3) that image the solar corona for 1.1 to 30 solar radii (C1: 1.1 to 3 solar radii, C2: 1.5 to 6 solar radii, and C3: 3 to 30.0 solar radii). The inner coronagraph (C1) is a newly developed mirror version of the classic Lyot coronagraph without an external occultor, while the middle coronagraph (C2) and the outer coronagraph (C3) are externally occulted instruments. High resolution coronal spectroscopy from 1.1 to 3 R solar radii can be performed by using a Fabry-Perot interferometer, which is part of C1. High volume memories and a high speed microprocessor enable extensive onboard image processing. Image compression by factors of 10 to 20 will result in the transmission of 10 to 20 full images per hour.

    Description: Simultaneous soft X-ray, microwave, and photospheric magnetic field observations were taken during the Coronal Magnetic Structures Observing Campaign. The plasma electron temperatures and emission measures determined from the X-ray data are used to predict the intensity and structure of the thermal bremsstrahlung emission at 20 and 6 cm. Comparing these predictions with the microwave observations, it is found that the 20 cm structure is very similar to that expected from the X-rays, but a substantial amount of the 6 cm emission was resolved out. The predicted 20 cm brightness temperatures are higher than the observed, requiring cool absorbing material (not greater than 500,000 K) between the hot X-ray plasma and the observer. The absorption mechanism in the cool plasma at 20 cm is most likely thermal bremsstrahlung, requiring coronal magnetic fields as high as 150 G. 'Coronal Magnetograms', made by extrapolating the photospheric longitudinal field using the Sakurai code, show that appropriate values of the total field are reached at heights of 6000-10,000 km above the photosphere (at many but not all locations).

    Description: Doppler shift measurements of the Na D1 absorption line reveal solar oscillations in a new regime of frequency and wavenumber. Oscillations of vertical velocities in the temperature minimum and low chromosphere of the sun are observed with frequencies ranging up to 9.5 mHz. The fundamental modes appear with wavenumbers up to 5.33/Mm (equivalent spherical harmonic degree 3710). No evidence for chromospheric modes of 3-minute period is reported.

    Description: This paper presents a brief overview of the observed evolution in a variety of quantities describing the turbulent evolution of the interplanetary plasma and describes simulation results consistent with many features of the evolution. The turbulence is manifested through a dissipation at small scales in the inner heliosphere with a corresponding evolution in the breakpoint between a relatively flat and a Kolmogoroff spectrum; an evolution from kinetically to (slightly) magnetically dominated energy of the plasma fluctuations; a general decrease in the cross helicity or 'Alfvenicity'; changes in the anisotropy of the fluctuations; and the increasing predominance of quasi-pressure-balanced structures in the compressive component of the fluctuations. MHD simulations with shear layers either side of a central current sheet show that even in the absence of compressibility the lack of a mean field along the direction of the main flow in the current sheet leads to rapid nonlinear evolution and the observed characteristics of 'Elsasser spectra' of the fields in the inner heliosphere. Adding compressibility to the simulations does not greatly change the 'incompressive' quantities but leads in addition to observed correlations between a measure of compression and other quantities.

    Description: The radio receiver on Ulysses records the quasi-thermal noise which allows a determination of the density and temperature of the cold (core) electrons of the solar wind. Seven interplanetary fast forward or reverse shocks are identified from the density and temperature profiles, together with the magnetic field profile from the Magnetometer experiment. Upstream of the three strongest shocks, bursts of nonthermal waves are observed at the electron plasma frequency f(peu). The more perpendicular the shock, the longer the time interval during which these upstream bursts are observed. For one of the strongest shocks we also observe two kinds of upstream electromagnetic radiation: radiation at 2 f(peu), and radiation at the downstream electron plasma frequency, which propagates into the less dense upstream regions.

    Description: Beginning in 1989, the active phase of the present solar cycle became manifest in the outer heliosphere as large disturbances in solar wind velocity as observed by the Ames plasma analyzers aboard Pioneer 10 (46-50 AU heliocentric distance) and Pioneer 11 (about 28 AU). Inner heliospheric baseline plasma observations from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (0.7 AU) and IMP 8 (1 AU) are useful for attempts to correlate solar events with the outer heliospheric disturbances. With regard to the onset of activity at Pioneer 11, Pioneer Venus observations are pertinent, and some of these in turn correspond with CMEs (coronal mass ejections) observed in SMM coronagraph data. In particular, enhanced solar wind speeds observed at Pioneer Venus during December 1988 to February 1989 are associated with seven large solar wind shocks (or shock candidates); corresponding CMEs may be identified. Two of these seven shocks were identified as candidates for a precursor to the onset of the disturbances at Pioneer 11. At Pioneer 10 the disturbed period includes two large disturbances, associated with the passage of shocks. There are several candidate CMEs in the SMM observations, one of which may be associated with the second Pioneer 10 shock.

    Description: Observations of solar wind magnetic field spectra from 1-22 AU indicate a distinctive structure in frequency which evolves with increasing heliocentric distance. At 1 AU extremely low frequency correlations are associated with temporal variations at the solar period and its first few harmonics. For periods of l2-96 hours, a l/f distribution is observed, which we interpret as an aggregate of uncorrelated coronal structures which have not dynamically interacted by 1 AU. At higher frequencies the familiar Kolmogorov-like power law is seen. Farther from the sun the frequency break point between the shallow l/f and the steeper Kolmogorov spectrum evolves systematically towards lower frequencies. We suggest that the Kolmogorov-like spectra emerge due to in situ turbulence that generates spatial correlations associated with the turbulent cascade and that the background l/f noise is a largely temporal phenomenon, not associated with in situ dynamical processes. In this paper we discuss these ideas from the standpoint of observations from several interplanetary spacecraft.

    Description: The IMP 8 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) spacecraft explore the region of heliographic latitudes between 8 deg N and 8 deg S. Solar wind observations from these spacecraft are used to construct synoptic maps of solar wind parameters in this region. These maps provide an explicit picture of the structure of high speed streams near 1 AU and how that structure varies with time. From 1982 until early 1985, solar wind parameters varied little with latitude. During the last solar minimum, the solar wind developed strong latitudinal structure; high speed streams were excluded from the vicinity of the solar equator. Synoptic maps of solar wind speed are compared with maps of the coronal source surface magnetic field. This comparison reveals the expected correlation between solar wind speed near 1 AU, the strength of the coronal magnetic field, and distance from the coronal neutral line.

    Description: The Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, and Voyager 2 spacecraft are now at heliocentric distances of 50, 32 and 33 AU, and heliographic latitudes of 3.5 deg N, 17 deg N, and 0 deg N, respectively. Pioneer 11 and Voyager 2 are at similar celestial longitudes, while Pioneer l0 is on the opposite side of the sun. The baselines defined by these spacecraft make it possible to resolve radial, longitudinal, and latitudinal variations of solar wind parameters. The solar wind temperature decreases with increasing heliocentric distance out to a distance of 10-15 AU. At larger heliocentric distances, this gradient disappears. These high solar wind temperatures in the outer heliosphere have persisted for at least 10 years, which suggests that they are not a solar cycle effect. The solar wind temperature varied with heliographic latitude during the most recent solar minimum. The solar wind temperature at Pioneer 11 and Voyager 2 was higher than that seen at Pioneer 10 for an extended period of time, which suggests the existence of a large-scale variation of temperature with celestial longitude, but the contribution of transient phenomena is yet to be clarified.
