| Abstract: | The morphology and physical characteristics of the extended solar wind transsonic region, an intrinsically unique regime of the heliosphere, are described. It is here where the primary acceleration of the solar wind occurs and both subsonic and supersonic plasma flows co-exist and interact. This concept of  mixed flow has evolved from an analysis of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) data that reveal the solar wind stream structure and anomalous scattering within the solar wind transsonic region. |
