- Abstract
- Turbulent spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind nearly follows Kolmogorov's law similar to f(-5/3) below the ion cyclotron frequency f(ci). Above this frequency, the observed steeper power law is believed to be a 'dissipative range' of the solar wind turbulence. In this paper we analyze magnetic field fluctuations measured onboard Cluster, lasting two decades above f(ci). Well-defined power law and a strong increase of intermittency with frequency in this range indicates that turbulence cannot be characterized by a 'dissipative range'. Rather we conjecture that above f(ci) the turbulence is generated by a different nonlinear cascade. We suggest that the presence of dispersive effects is responsible for a steepening of the spectral energy density, simply because a cascade can be realized in a time that is shorter than the usual eddy-turnover time. In the Hall MHD formulation, the magnetic power follows a law similar to f(-1/3+2x),, which depends on the degree of plasma compressibility alpha. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
