Abstract
The radio signals from the Mariner 10 spacecraft have been used to probe the turbulence of the north polar regions of the solar corona. Simultaneous bandwidth observations of both S- and X-band were made with a resolution of approximately 0.20 Hz during the period of May 30 to June 26, 1974, from the 64-m antenna at the Mars Deep Space Station in the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. A mathematical model is given to relate the S- and X-band spectra. It was not possible to successfully correlate the spectra with solar observations such as solar flares, solar active regions and Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO)-7 white light coronograph data. The bandwidths are generally narrower than previous observations but seem consistent with the reduced solar activity during this period of the solar cycle.
