Table 8.

Radial behaviour of the electron number density Ne (the proton number density can be calculated by Np = 0.9 Ne; see Sect. 2), solar wind (or proton) velocity vp, the radial component of the magnetic field Br, the total magnetic field strength Btot (see Eq. (17)), and the Alfvén speed vA (see Eq. (19)).
