  The solar wind proton temperature at 1-au has been found to be correlated
with small-scale intermittent magnetic structures, i.e., regions with enhanced
temperature are associated with coherent structures such as current sheets.
Using Parker Solar Probe data from the first encounter, we study this
association using measurements of radial proton temperature, employing the
Partial Variance of Increments (PVI) technique to identify intermittent
magnetic structures. We observe that the probability density functions of
high-PVI events have higher median temperatures than those with lower PVI, The
regions in space where PVI peaks were also locations that had enhanced
temperatures when compared with similar regions suggesting a heating mechanism
in the young solar wind that is associated with intermittency developed by a
nonlinear turbulent cascade.n the immediate vicinity.
