ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction - STEREO-1
Header
-
Results of heliospheric computations are shown between 0.1 and 1.1 AU
for a -/+ 5 day span about begining of the day with the most recent
solar wind source data.
-
Date (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss UTC) at the top left corresponds to
displayed results.
-
Date (yyy-mm-dd UTC -/+ days) at the top right gives time relative
to beginning of the day with the most recent solar wind source data.
Negative (positive) values are for times prior (subsequent)
to that reference date.
Top-Left Panel
-
The solar wind plasma density, scaled by (r/R_AU)^2,
is shown on constant-latitude slice passing through Earth.
The color scale is given at the right.
-
Planets and spacecraft are marked by colored circles and rectangles,
respectively.
-
This panel also shows positions of STEREO spacecraft with respective
field of views (light red and blue lines; axes have arrows
indicating the viewing direction) and corresponding Thomson curves
(thick red and blue curves) marking the peak in the white-light
scattering toward the observer.
Top-Right Panel
Running difference of synthetic white-light images as might be seen
by STEREO-A HI-1 and HI-2 instruments.
The total brightness is shown using the color scale given at the bottom.
This panel also shows concentric circles (the central axis) that
correspond to the view directions displayed in the top-center panel
as lines (lines with the arrow).
The vertical line is in the latitudinal direction with North at the top.
The horizontal line is in the longitudinal direction with East
on the left.
The horizontal line corresponds to a viewing segment in the equatorial
plane shown in the top-left panel.
Bottom-Left Panel
-
Temporal profiles of the solar wind density at Earth (green),
STEREO-A (red), and STEREO-B (blue)
-
Grey (white) area shows history (prediction).
Bottom-Right Panel
-
J-maps (time-elongation plot) for STEREO-A at the ecliptic.
Footer
-
Credit to the used data and models is given at the bottom left.
