A method is proposed for estimating the velocity of the solar wind close to the sun (within 1 to 30 solar radii) from measurements with a single radio telescope of the relative shift in the diffraction pattern of interplanetary scintillations for several separate components of individual H2O and OH maser sources. A phase-screen analysis is performed, and characteristic delay times for the scintillation pattern of two sources are estimated. The optimum range of elongation is determined to be 2 to 5 solar radii for observations at 1.35 cm and 5 to 20 solar radii for observations at 18 cm. Some experimental opportunities for determining the solar-wind velocity from H2O maser sources are considered.
