Solar wind fluctuations: waves and turbulence

Abstract

We present a brief review of observations and theory regarding the nature and radial evolution of MHD‐scale solar wind fluctuations. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the fluctuations consist of both waves and turbulence, and on their dual dynamical roles.
