Island row fabricated by the Sun (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

solar wind

'sun' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'island row fabricated' is the wordplay.
'fabricated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'island'+'row'='islandrow'
'islandrow' with letters rearranged gives 'SOLAR WIND'.

'by the' acts as a link.

(Another definition for solar wind that I've seen is " Flow of particles from the sun".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
