摘要
The statistical properties of fast Alfvenic solar wind turbulence have been analyzed by means of empirical mode decomposition and the associated Hilbert spectral analysis. The stringent criteria employed for the data selection in the Wind spacecraft database, has made possible to sample multiple k(parallel to) field-aligned intervals of the three magnetic field components. The results suggest that the spectral anisotropy predicted by the critical balance theory is not observed in the selected database, whereas a Kolmogorov-like scaling (E(k(parallel to)) similar to k(-5/3)) and a weak or absent level of intermittency are robust characteristics of the Alfvenic slab component of solar wind turbulence.
