Scientific paper

We carry out a comprehensive analysis of experimental data on the solar surface magnetic field and the scattering properties of the circumsolar plasma in the subsonic region at R ~= (4-12) R_solar to study the forma- tion mechanism of the solar wind stream structure. We use the data on the radial dependence of the scattering angle of radio waves obtained in 1985-1996 during radio occultation experiments in the circumsolar plasma with the source 3C 144. These data are compared with the helio-latitude structure of the solar surface magnetic field. We have established that the typical deviations of the relation between the scattering and the radial distance from a regular power law and the decrease in scattering at small distances from the Sun correlate with the open structure of magnetic field lines and with the penetration of the fields from coronal holes and other local sources in the plasma streams.
