Imbalanced Turbulence Modified by Large-scale Velocity Shears in the Solar Wind

We have investigated how the degree of imbalance in solar wind turbulence is modified by large-scale velocity shears in the solar wind plasma. The balance between counterpropagating Alfvénic fluctuations, which interact nonlinearly to generate the turbulence, has been quantified by the cross helicit...
