Abstract | In this Letter we propose a practical methodology to interpret future Parker Solar Probe (PSP) turbulent time signals even when Taylor s hypothesis is not valid. By extending Kraichnan s sweeping model used in hydrodynamics we derive the Eulerian spacetime correlation function in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. It is shown that in MHD, the temporal decorrelation of small-scale fluctuations arises from a combination of hydrodynamic sweeping induced by large-scale fluid velocity delta u(0) and by the Alfvenic propagation along the local magnetic field. The resulting temporal part of the spacetime correlation function is used to determine the field-perpendicular wavenumber range |
