Magnetic field data from Helios 1 and 2 were used to test a stochastic model for interplanetary Alfvenic fluctuations. A statistical analysis of the directional variations of the interplanetary field was performed for Alfvenic regions of the solar wind. The experimental distributions agree reasonably well with those predicted by theory. A rough estimate for the correlation length of the observed fluctuations was inferred. Findings in the near Earth region agree with previous determinations. A decrease of the correlation length approaching the Sun is found, essentially related to the observed enhancement in the angular variability of the magnetic field near the Sun.
