A Fokker–Planck Framework for Studying the Variability of the Magnetic Field Direction in the Alfvénic Streams of the Solar Wind
Turbulent rotations of the magnetic field vector are observed in the Alfvénic streams of the solar wind where the magnetic field strength remains close to a constant. They can lead to reversals of the radial magnetic field component or switchbacks. It is not ruled out from the data that the rotation...
