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.
