Scientific paper

It is shown that fluctuations of the solar wind ions velocity (as measured on the kinetic level by the SWICS-detector on board the Advanced Composition Explorer) exhibit statistical properties which are in very good agreement with predictions of the three-dimensional (3D) isotropic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) turbulence theory [Biskamp and Müller, Phys. Plasmas 7, 4889 (2000)]. The question is: How can 3D isotropic MHD be used to describe the interaction of the solar wind magnetic field with the kinetic (collisionless) ions?
