Energetics of compressive waves in the solar corona

Energetics of compressive waves in the solar corona
Inelastic scattering off moving or oscillating density fluctuations leads to broadening of radio signals propagating in the solar corona and solar wind. Using an anisotropic density fluctuation model from the kinetic scattering theory for solar radio bursts, it is possible to deduce the plasma velocities (perpendicular to the line of sight) required to explain observations of spacecraft signal frequency broadening.
