Scientific paper

The paper presents observations of the angular and spectral broadening of Voyager 2 radio signals performed during superior conjunction when the line of sight to the spacecraft passed within the 2.1 solar radius of the sun's north pole. The observations have been used to derive solar wind speeds; the measured angular broadening was determined suggesting that the scattering observed is sufficient at the solar maximum to account for the solar 'plasma-frequency' radio bursts in ground-based observations appearing to occur above the plasma-frequency level.
