Modeling solar zenith angle effects on the polar wind
[1] We use the Polar Wind Outflow Model (PWOM) to study the geomagnetically quiet conditions in the polar cap during solar maximum. The PWOM solves the gyrotropic transport equations for O, H, and He along several magnetic field lines in the polar region in order to reconstruct the full 3D solution. We directly compare our simulation results to the data based empirical model of Kitamura et al. ...
متن کاملOn the Choice of Average Solar Zenith Angle
Idealized climate modeling studies often choose to neglect spatiotemporal variations in solar radiation, but doing so comes with an important decision about how to average solar radiation in space and time. Since both clear-sky and cloud albedo are increasing functions of the solar zenith angle, one can choose an absorptionweighted zenith angle that reproduces the spatialor time-mean absorbed s...
متن کاملAlfvénic fluctuations in “newborn” polar solar wind
The 3-D structure of the solar wind is strongly dependent upon the Sun’s activity cycle. At low solar activity a bimodal structure is dominant, with a fast and uniform flow at the high latitudes, and slow and variable flows at low latitudes. Around solar maximum, in sharp contrast, variable flows are observed at all latitudes. This last kind of pattern, however, is a relatively short-lived feat...
متن کاملParameterizing the Dependence of Surface Albedo on Solar Zenith Angle Using Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Observations
This study evaluates the parameterization of the dependence of surface albedo on solar zenith angle (SZA) over snow-free land surface used by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast Systems (GFS) and those derived from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer satellite observations as described in two recent studies. The influence of cloud cover on surface alb...
متن کاملZenith - Angle Distribution of J
March 197-i ABSTR.ACT The flux of atmospheric muons as a function of momentum and zenith angle is measured for p > 0.3 TeV and 60" < 8 C 87.. Special attention is given the angular distribution above. 1 TeV. In 1967, Bergeson et al. [i] published data from an underground cosmic ray experiment, suggesting that a new process is occurring in nucleon-nudleon interactions at energies of several TeV....
