Comparison of magnetic field spectral index for reconnecting periods (black) identified by S. Eriksson et al. (2024) and ambient wind (green). Panel (a) shows the spectral index associated with the trace spectra (αB) and panel (b) is the spectral index for the spectra of ∣B∣ (αB). The legend reports the mean and standard deviation of spectral indices.
