The scintillation of radio sources caused by the interplanetary medium offers a means of studying the motion of the solar wind well away from the plane of the ecliptic, where direct measurements have so far been confined.

Zusammenfassung:The scintillation of radio sources caused by the interplanetary medium offers a means of studying the motion of the solar wind well away from the plane of the ecliptic, where direct measurements have so far been confined. Observations from a triangular arrangement of radio receivers (on 81.5 Mc/s) suggest that the solar wind is faster over the solar poles than in the plane of the ecliptic.
