Scientific paper

An analysis is made of the dependence of solar wind velocity on the heliocentric distance, v(R), determined from radio-occultation data obtained by the Venera-10, -15, -16 and Viking-1 spacecraft. Results of four series of measurements of the v(R) dependence are presented. The role of magnetoacoustic waves is discussed, and the wave velocity is determined. It is shown that solar wind acceleration occurs primarily in the R range equal to 9-25 solar radii. The distance Rs, where solar wind velocity becomes supersonic, and plasma temperature are determined.
