Abstract
We present the results of experimental investigations of saturated intensity fluctuations in radio waves propagating through the plasma around the sun. The data were obtained by the radio occultation method using the spacecraft Venera 15 and 16. These emitted radio waves at wavelengths of %1 = 32 cm and %2 = 5 cm. We have studied the duration and magnitude of sudden increases in intensity (spikes) and the distribution function of the saturated fluctuations. We have obtained the temporal spectra and autocorrelation functions of the fluctuations. From the radio data, we have estimated the dimensions of the inhomogeneities in the solar wind which are responsible for fluctuations in the radio waves in the saturated regime.
