Reply to comment by FlametopFred in The Radial Variation of the Solar Wind Turbulence Spectra near the Kinetic Break Scale from Parker Solar Probe Measurements by CESRA_highlights

I think it’s kind of the kinetic to magnetic influence ratio on solar flux at variable distance from the sun. But I’m not sure.

“break frequency is estimated by finding the frequency where the average dissipation and inertial range fits to the log-spaced magnetic field power spectral density cross each other”

Well that clears it right up

Thinking…

They hope to be able to warn earth better about big scary solar events in terms of time of arrival and intensity and duration by looking at how [bumpy] and [sloping/muddy?] the road is between here and the sun. They’re almost looking up the sun’s driveway with the PSP.
