Abstract

We have made a statistical analysis of the monthly numbers of high-velocity solar wind streamers observed by the time period 1964–1978.

The following periods have been found:

  1. (1)

    Eleven years, 6 and 3 months for the solar wind streamers, which have solar flares as sources.

  2. (2)

    Fourteen years and 36, 24, 12, 6, 4, 3 months for the number of solar wind streamers, which have coronal holes as sources.

  3. (3)

    Sixteen years for the total number of solar wind streamers.
