Scientific paper

Corotating solar wind stream interactions are examined for the earth and Venus in light of data from the plasma detectors aboard ISEE-3, the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO), and Helios-A, as well as in situ ion composition measurements taken by the mass spectrometers aboard the PVO and Atmosphere Explorer-E spacecraft. During May-July 1979, a sequence of distinct, recurrent coronal regions developed at the sun; their analysis indicates a corresponding sequence of corotating streams. Although the planetary environments are distinctly different, it is noted that pronounced and analogous ionospheric responses to the stream passage were observed at both the earth and Venus. The response to the intercepted stream is consistent with independent investigations showing the importance of the variability of the solar wind momentum flux in the solar wind-ionosphere interaction at both planets.
