Popis: | We discuss the capabilities of VLBI studies of irregularities of the solar-wind plasma using multi-element radio interferometric facilities. We analyze the data obtained during international VLBI experiments at decimeter wavelengths (92 and 18 cm) in 1994–1996 and supposed that the irregularities have a “stream” structure. The “streams” are strongly elongated in the solar-wind direction (longitudinal size of about a few hundred thousand kilometers) and have the transverse size of about 0.5–2.0 thousand kilometers. The irregularities inside a single “stream” are almost isotropic. We discuss the restrictions imposed on operation of decimeter VLBI systems due to effects of the interplanetary medium. |
