Scientific paper

The paper examines the radial dependence of the temperature of the proton component of the solar wind with a heat source arising during the dissipation of background MHD-turbulence. It is shown that, at large heliocentric distances (R greater than 1 AU), this dependence can differ strongly from the adiabatic one in the case of turbulent heating. Theoretical results can be made to conform with experimental data by assuming that the one-dimensional energy spectrum of MHD turbulence in the low-frequency region (k not greater than about 10 to the -11th/cm) is nearly two-dimensional. Reference is made to Pioneer 10 and 11 data.
