Scientific paper

A brief review of both macroscopic (hydromagnetic) and microscopic theories of the reconnection or merging of magnetic field lines is given. The importance of phenomena similar to vortex formation and eddy convection in hydrodynamics is emphasized. Fluctuations observed by HEOS 2 are shown to result from the passage of convection cells. An eddy diffusion coefficient can be defined.
