Although the detailed spatial structure of the fields has yet to be elucidated, the helicity spectrum has been conjectured to result from a random walk in direction of a constant magnitude magnetic field vector. We demonstrate that a model using three-dimensional fluctuations with variations in |B| gives a good fit to the helicity spectrum as well as to other properties of the interplanetary magnetic field.4 pagesen-USThis work was written as part of one of the author's official duties as an Employee of the United States Government and is therefore a work of the United States Government.
