Empirical Solar Wind Forecasting from the Chromosphere
Recently, we correlated the inferred structure of the solar chromospheric plasma topography with solar wind velocity and composition data measured at 1 AU. We now offer a physical justification of these relationships and present initial results of a empirical prediction model based on them. While still limited by the fundamentally complex physics behind the origins of the solar wind and how its...
متن کاملForecasting Solar Wind Speeds
By explicitly taking into account effects of Alfvén waves, I derive from a simple energetics argument a fundamental relation which predicts solar wind (SW) speeds in the vicinity of the earth from physical properties on the sun. Kojima et al. recently found from their observations that a ratio of surface magnetic field strength to an expansion factor of open magnetic flux tubes is a good indica...
متن کاملModeling the Solar Chromosphere
Spectral diagnostic features formed in the solar chromosphere are few and difficult to interpret — they are neither formed in the optically thin regime nor in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). To probe the state of the chromosphere, both from observations and theory, it is therefore necessary with modeling. I discuss both traditional semi-empirical modeling, numerical experiments illustrat...
متن کاملThe prolate solar chromosphere
We present a comparative analysis of the chromospheric solar limb prolateness, using strictly simultaneous Hα ground-based observations and HeII space-based observations. The typical prolateness is found to be ∆D/D = 5.5 × 10−3 in HeII and 1.2 × 10−3 in Hα. The first measurements in the 30.4 nm HeII line over a period of two years, as well as coronal data, are discussed to explore further the o...
متن کاملThe Non-magnetic Solar Chromosphere
We summarizerecent results from self-consistent non-LTE radiation hydrodynamicssimulations of the propagation of acoustic waves through the non-magnetic solar chromosphere. References to more detailed write-ups of the work are given. The simulations closely match the observed behaviour of Ca II H 2 V bright grains. Observations of CO-lines, that are problematicto explain in semi-empiricalone-co...
