Jm. Polygiannakis et X. Moussas, DETECTION OF NONLINEAR DYNAMICS IN SOLAR-WIND AND A COMET USING PHASE-CORRELATION MEASURES, Solar physics, 158(1), 1995, pp. 159-172
Nonlinear dynamics in the solar wind and cometary plasma over small ti
me scales are identified using sensitive entropy measures of the weak
wave organization in the magnetic field polarized components. All poss
ible linear Gaussian stochastic models are rejected at a high confiden
ce level in all cases. The association of the detected correlations wi
th a forward CIR shock is demonstrated using a large set of very high-
resolution Pioneer-10 field measurements.
