Abstract

Although the wave activity observed in the solar wind near the terrestrial orbit is rather well understood, many questions remain concerning waves that occur much closer to the Sun. The measurements closest to the Sun have so far been obtained by the Helios 1 and 2 spacecraft at approximately 0.3 AU. Based on these observations, we present the characteristics of the waves that are expected to occur near 0.2 AU and discuss the magnetic field sensors that are required to measure them. The Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) we propose is the part of the Radio and plasma wave experiment that is described in Maksimovic et al., 2006.
