Scientific paper

On May 11, 1999 the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft observed a rarefied parcel of solar wind that has come to be known as ``The Day the Solar Wind Disappeared.'' Little if any change is seen in the large-scale interplanetary magnetic field during this time, but the magnetic field fluctuations are depressed and significantly more transverse to the mean field. The high Alfvén speed resulting from the constant field intensity and low ion density enhances wave refraction, and we examine this as a possible explanation for the fluctuation properties.
