AB - We present a measurement of the scale-dependent, three-dimensional structureof the magnetic field fluctuations in inertial range solar wind turbulence withrespect to a local, physically motivated coordinate system. The Alfvenicfluctuations are three-dimensionally anisotropic, with the sense of thisanisotropy varying from large to small scales. At the outer scale, the magneticfield correlations are longest in the local fluctuation direction, consistentwith Alfven waves. At the proton gyroscale, they are longest along the localmean field direction and shortest in the direction perpendicular to the localmean field and the local field fluctuation. The compressive fluctuations arehighly elongated along the local mean field direction, although axiallysymmetric perpendicular to it. Their large anisotropy may explain why they arenot heavily damped in the solar wind.
