Scientific paper

A review is given of Pioneer-9 (1968, 1969) and Pioneer-10 and 11 (1973) observations of the solar wind high-speed stream structure as a function of heliocentric distance. Evidence for spatial and temporal variations in this solar wind structure between 5 and 7 AU is presented as well as evidence for the importance of stream-stream interactions in the solar wind. As the high speed stream structure travels outward in the ecliptic plane from the sun, there is evidence of damping which is consistent with the exchange of momentum between the high speed streams and the low speed streams. These interactions may produce scattering centers which will prevent the observation of a significant galactic cosmic ray gradient. The width of the solar wind speed histograms are determined and radial distances on the order of 10 AU are calculated.
