Abstract

This paper describes the results of the investigation of variations of the value and direction of the solar wind ion flux, measured with high time resolution (up to 31 msec). Unlike previous papers that mainly represent values measured at intervals of several minutes, we have shown that the direction of the ion flux in the solar wind can undergo high (up to several degrees) and rapid (up to several seconds) variations.
