The solar wind plasma is a fully ionized and turbulent gas ejected by the outer layers of the solar corona at very high speed, mainly composed by protons and electrons, with a small percentage of helium nuclei and a significantly lower…

This work is a continuation of our previous articles (Yermolaev et al. in J. Geophys.Res. 120, 7094, 2015, Yermolaev et al. in Solar Phys. 292, 193, 2017), which describe the average temporal profiles of interplanetary plasma and field…
