Evidence for nonlinear development of magnetohydrodynamic scale intermittency in the inner heliosphere

The formation of coherent structures in turbulence is a signature of a developing cascade and therefore might be observable by analyzing inner heliospheric solar wind turbulence. To test this idea, data from the Helios 2 mission, for six streams of solar wind at different heliocentric distances and...
