RADIO PHYSICS AND RADIO ASTRONOMY

Some features of application of spectral and dispersion techniques for determination of solar wind parameters from the interplanetary scintillations data of cosmic radio sources at the decameter wavelengths are described. The characteristic errors of solar wind parameters determination depending on the technique and solar wind model are presented.
