Scientific paper

Helios 1 data are analyzed to find an experimental fit for the temperature-velocity relationship at 1 AU. It is shown that the proton temperature-velocity changes at a velocity of approximately 500 km/s. Interplanetary dynamic processes, i.e., stream interactions, are shown to affect the temperature-velocity relationships less than 22 percent; the functional form of these relationships appears to be preserved throughout the solar cycle. It is pointed out that any comprehensive model of the solar wind will have to address the difference in the temperature-velocity relationship between the low- and high-speed wind, since this is a product of the acceleration and subsequent heating process generating the solar wind.
