• C(δn, δB||) from ~1.2x105 WIND data intervals is ~-1
• Correlation implies that a preponderance of the compressive energy is due to slow waves
• Lack of fast waves may have implications for in dissipation range
SHINE session: The Dissipation of Solar Wind Turbulence
Correlation of density and parallel magnetic fluctuations:Points from WIND data, Lines from synthetic data model.
