(a) Saturated (﹩{\beta }_{\parallel }-{\beta }_{\perp }﹩) and ﹩{{CC}}_{\rho ,B}﹩ versus ﹩\theta ﹩ for the initial parameter values of ﹩{\beta }_{\parallel }=4﹩ and ﹩{\beta }_{\perp }=1﹩. (b) Saturated ﹩{{CC}}_{\rho ,B}﹩ and ﹩{C}_{\rho ,B}﹩ versus ﹩{\beta }_{\parallel }﹩ based on 38 simulation cases with various initial parameter values. (c) Saturated ﹩{T}_{\perp }/{T}_{\parallel }﹩ versus ﹩{\beta }_{\parallel }﹩ based on 38 simulation cases with various initial parameter values (dotted points) and the fitting curve (solid line) for the solar wind observations of FI (S. D. Bale et al. 2009).
