Scientific paper

A critical review of past and present theories is presented in order to identify the main difficulties that should be surmounted by any modern theoretical model to achieve satisfactory results. It is found that the major difficulties are insufficient knowledge about the damping of the magnetohydrodynamic waves to heat the solar wind protons and about electron heat conduction flux density for the collisonless interplanetary plasma. More experimental information about the boundary conditions of the low corona, which became more important after the coronal holes were identified as probable sources of the solar wind, should be obtained.
