Scientific paper

The scintillation of celestial radio sources due to small-scale turbulence along lines of sight through the interplanetary medium provides a convenient, ground-based method of monitoring disturbances in interplanetary space. About 900 sources were observed each day for more than a year. When the long-term average scintillation behavior of each source had been accurately determined, transient disturbances could be clearly distinguished. Large clouds of enhanced turbulence were detected moving out from the sun and were tracked to distance beyond the earth's orbit.
