Caption: Figure 1.
Radial evolution of plasma parameters and Taylor hypothesis diagnostics. Panels display (from top to bottom) solar wind flow speed Vsw, proton density np, proton temperature Tp, parallel proton beta β∥, and temperature anisotropy T⊥/T∥. The bottom panels show the sweeping parameter ϵ and the Doppler shift factor 1 + VA/V⊥ (see text for definitions), used to assess the validity of the Taylor frozen-in hypothesis. All parameters are averaged over 1 hr intervals. Missing data points are omitted from the plots.
