Scientific paper

Pioneer 6 observations of the interplanetary magnetic field at heliocentric distances of 0.8 to 1.0 AU are re-examined by making least square fits to the magnetic field data and by considering the effect of the variable solar wind velocity on the field components. Twenty-eight day averages of the magnetic field and plasma parameters are graphed against heliocentric distance. It is shown that the values for the magnetic field radial component agree with the Parker model, but that the azimuthal component shows a different r-dependence than the model, due to variations in the solar wind velocity. The solar wind density is also shown to have a different r-dependence than the model, due to the same variations.
