dc.description.abstractThe magnetic power spectrum of the solar wind at 1 AU exhibits a breakpoint at a frequency of about 0.1–1 Hz, with the spectrum being steeper above the breakpoint than below the breakpoint. Because magnetic discontinuities contain much of the Fourier power in the solar wind, it is suspected that current sheet thicknesses (i.e., discontinuity thicknesses) may play a role in determining the frequency of this breakpoint. Using time series measurements of the solar wind magnetic field from the Wind spacecraft, the effect of current sheet thicknesses on the breakpoint is investigated by time stretching the solar wind time series at the locations of current sheets, effectively thickening the current sheets in the time series. This localized time stretching significantly affects the magnetic power spectral density of the solar wind in the vicinity of the high‐frequency breakpoint: a substantial fraction of the Fourier power at the breakpoint frequency is contained in current sheets that occupy a small fraction of the spatial volume of the solar wind. It is concluded that current sheet thickness appears to play a role in determining the frequency fB of the high‐frequency breakpoint of the magnetic power spectrum of the solar wind. This analysis of solar wind data is aided by comparisons with power spectra generated from artificial time series.Key PointsCurrent‐sheet thicknesses affect the high‐frequency breakpoint frequency of the solar windSolar‐wind current sheets contain substantial magnetic Fourier powerThere are outstanding questions about the solar‐wind current sheet origins and physics
