Scientific paper

Quasilinear theory is used to calculate the power dissipated via obliquely propagating Alfven waves to heat the solar wind protons. This shows good agreement with the power which needs to be supplied to the solar wind protons as deduced from Helios observations. A corresponding calculation is made to obtain the evolution of parallel proton temperature with increasing heliocentric distance. Theoretical results and those obtained from Helios data compare well, especially for the fast streams.
