Scientific paper

The velocity of the solar wind can be measured with a single radio telescope by observing the interplanetary scintillation of numerous radio sources. The mean solar-wind velocity in August-October 1976 is found to have been approximately 400 km/sec at low heliographic latitudes (below 10 deg) and about 850 km/sec at high latitudes (30-70 deg). The wind velocity and the interplanetary plasma density have a reciprocal relationship.
