Abstract

Prominent structures and fluctuations in the solar wind appear to be closely associated with coronal magnetic structures and turbulence. Coronal hole related high-speed flows act as wave guides conducting Alfvénic fluctuations of solar origin into interplanetary space. Medium-sized plasma flow tubes seem to originate from coronal fine-structures presumed to be identical with the plumes seen in corona-graph pictures.
