Validation of a synoptic solar wind model
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] We present a validation of a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model for the solar corona and the inner heliosphere. We compare the results of the model with long-term satellite data at 1 AU for a 1 year period during solar minimum and another year period of solar maximum. Overall, the model predicts rather well the magnitude of the magnetohydrodynamical variables for solar minimum conditions. For solar maximum conditions, the magnitude of the magnetic field predicted by the model is too low. This result is consistent with the assumption that during solar maximum, a significant portion of the heliospheric open magnetic flux is not captured by the magnetogram input and the potential field approximation.

Validation of Synoptic Station Data Using Ensemble Classification on Central Iran
Today, the use of data recorded in synoptic stations of the country is one of the most significant sources of applied research for researchers. Data recorded automatically or manually at synoptic, climatological, and other stations are analyzed for statistical analysis. In this research, the data recorded in the synoptic stations of Iran, which are used to determine the days of dust, were analy...
متن کاملSolar Wind Forecasting with Coronal Holes
An empirical model for forecasting solar wind speed related geomagnetic events is presented here. The model is based on the estimated location and size of solar coronal holes. This method differs from models that are based on photospheric magnetograms (e.g., Wang-Sheeley model) to estimate the open field line configuration. Rather than requiring the use of a full magnetic synoptic map, the meth...
متن کاملUpstream conditions at Mercury during the first MESSENGER flyby: Results from two independent solar wind models
[1] The primary goal of this paper is to provide estimates of upstream solar wind plasma conditions at Mercury during the January 2008 MESSENGER flyby, based on two completely independent solar wind models. The first is a steady-state three-dimensional (3-D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of the solar corona and inner heliosphere, which simulates the solar wind propagation from the source surf...
متن کاملJuno‐UVS approach observations of Jupiter's auroras
Juno ultraviolet spectrograph (UVS) observations of Jupiter's aurora obtained during approach are presented. Prior to the bow shock crossing on 24 June 2016, the Juno approach provided a rare opportunity to correlate local solar wind conditions with Jovian auroral emissions. Some of Jupiter's auroral emissions are expected to be controlled or modified by local solar wind conditions. Here we com...
متن کاملStatistical and synoptic analysis of erosive wind in North-West of Iran
The occurrence of erosive winds in the North West of Iran always causes damage to urban facilities and agricultural fields. By identifying behavior and synoptic patterns of Strong winds, necessary strategies can be chosen to deal with this destructive phenomenon. In this study, the fastest erosive winds and its steadiness coefficient were analyzed in selected stations of North West of Iran. Sui...
