Abstract
Abstract We investigate possible links between the large-scale and small-scale features of solar wind fluctuations across the frequency break separating fluid and kinetic regimes. The aim is to correlate the magnetic field fluctuations polarization at dissipative scales with the particular state of turbulence within the inertial range of fluctuations. We found clear correlations between each type of polarization within the kinetic regime and fluid parameters within the inertial range. Moreover, for the first time in literature, we showed that left-handed and right-handed polarized fluctuations occupy different areas of the plasma instabilities–temperature anisotropy plot, as expected for Alfvén ion cyclotron and kinetic Alfvén waves, respectively.
