ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction - Velocity-1
Header
-
Results of heliospheric computations are shown between 0.1 and 1.7 AU
for a -10/+ 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.
Left Panel
-
A constant-latitude slice passing through Earth shows the solar wind
velocity using the color scale given at the bottom left.
-
The white line shows the heliospheric current sheet which represents
a magnetic sector boundary.
-
The polarity of magnetic sectors is indicated by blue or red color at
boundaries of the computational region.
The blue is for negative (toward the Sun) and the red is for positive
(away from the Sun) polarity.
-
The black-and-white line shows the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF)
line passing through Earth.
-
Colored circles and rectangles show positions of the planets and
spacecraft, respectively.
Right Panel
-
Temporal profiles of the solar wind velocity, density, temperature, and
magnetic field strength are shown from top to bottom.
-
Grey (white) area shows history (prediction).
-
Red curves show hourly-averaged measured values.
-
Blue curves show simulated values. Dashed blue curves show background values
(simulation without launching transients).
-
Yellow shading shows extent of a simulated ejecta.
Footer
-
Credit to the used data and models is given at the bottom left.
