Scientific paper

A review of recent theoretical progress in the possible role of microturbulence in the solar wind is presented. The solar wind is anticipated to excite plasma microinstabilities because of its transition from collision-dominated to collisionless behavior. The applications of linear plasma theory that have been made in this field are extensively reviewed and discussed, along with the present understanding of nonlinear plasma phenomena. The solar wind is an excellent laboratory for studying many aspects of solar and plasma physics and may soon provide some answers to several fundamental questions.
