Wave vector analysis methods using multi-point measurements
Recent developments of multi-point measurements in space provide a means to analyze spacecraft data directly in the wave vector domain. For turbulence study this means that we are able to estimate energy, helicity, and higher order moments in the wave vector domain without assuming Taylor's hyp...

| Summary: | Recent developments of multi-point measurements in space provide a means to analyze spacecraft data directly in the wave vector domain. For turbulence study this means that we are able to estimate energy, helicity, and higher order moments in the wave vector domain without assuming Taylor's hypothesis or axisymmetry around the mean magnetic field. The methods of the wave vector analysis are presented and applied to four-point data of Cluster in the solar wind. |
