pdf of rotations in the magnetic field direction, P(Δθ), for the solar wind with measurement intervals of Δ t ∈ {1, 16, 256, 4096} · 3 s (measured by the WIND spacecraft). While part of the tail (Δθ > 60°) may be fit by an exponential function (straight line in the plot), the bulk of the pdf (Δθ < 60°) varies drastically with Δ t.
