Description
In the report a model is proposed according to which noncompressive density enhancements are formed in regions of the corona with converging magnetic field configurations. The model allows one to understand the reasons for the high density and low temperature of noncompressive enhancements, as well as to explain the variation of their characteristics during a solar activity cycle and their connection with the boundaries of sectors of the interplanetary magnetic field. It is established that noncompressive density enhancements make a significant contribution to the balance of mass and energy of the solar wind at 1 AU during the decline and minimum of solar activity
