Scientific paper

This paper examines reasons for longitudinal solar wind asymmetries. Special attention is given to the precise form of solar wind asymmetry required for an understanding of the momentum balance in the solar wind/local-interstellar-medium interaction system and to the consequences of this asymmetry. It is argued that the relative motion of the solar system with respect to the ambient interstellar medium unavoidably enforces a corresponding up/down assymmetry of the adapted subsonic solar wind beyond the heliospheric shock. It is suggested that this asymmetry influences the stationary supersonic wind solution via the outer boundary conditions.
