The first 4 months of Imp 6 merged plasma and magnetic field data have been searched for evidence of local regulation of the solar wind heat flux (Q) at 1 AU. Data from several extended time periods as well as a statistical analysis suggest that the Alfven speed is at times a prime regulating factor of Q through the relation Q ∝ ΔVc = αVA. Here ΔVc is the velocity difference between the peak of the low-energy electrons and the bulk plasma velocity, VA is the local Alfven speed, and α is a dimensionless parameter of order 1.
