Although the orientation of wave vectors for interplanetary magnetic fluctuations is often discussed or assumed when modelling the solar wind turbulence, there were few if any direct measurements of the wave vector orientation until very recently. Indirect inferences abound. For instance, the transverse nature of magnetic fluctuations has often been used to infer a wave vector parallel to the mean magnetic field, but transverse fluctuations do not necessarily lead to parallel wave vectors - the fluctuations of two-dimensional turbulence are fully tranverse, but their wave vectors are also transverse to the mean field. Bieber et al. [3] offer the first single-point algorithm for separating field-aligned wave vectors from perpendicular wave vectors using the component spectra. This method has since been used by others [5, 6, 8, 9] and is here applied to Ulysses measurements in a comparison of high latitude turbulence with the results of previous studies of near-ecliptic observations.
