Abstract

A description is given of the analysis of the solar wind angular data from the satellite HEOS 1 and a comparison is made with the data obtained by Explorer 33, in the period of time from January 1967 to April 1970. The observed flow direction shows a temporal behaviour which sug gests the possbility of a long period regular variation.
