Scientific paper
This paper presents an overview of the Zank and Matthaeus (1991) theory of weakly compressible magnetofluid dynamics within the context of solar wind observations, stressing the importance of compressibility in determining the incompressible MHD description appropriate to the solar wind. A new unified model is developed which combines the effects of both the compressibility and the incompressibility, which can be used for investigations of waves and turbulence in the solar wind.
