Abstract
The IMP-8 and Voyager 2 spacecraft have recently detected a very stron g modulation in the solar wind speed with an approximately 1.3 year pe riod. Combined with evidence from long-term auroral and magnetometer s tudies, this suggests that fundamental changes in the Sun occur on a r oughly 1.3 year time scale.
