  1. 3-D Reconstruction of the Inner Heliosphere from Remote-Sensing Data: A Global Solar Wind Boundary that Includes CME Transient Effects H.-S. Yu, B.V. Jackson, P.P. Hick, A. Buffington, J.M.

  2. Introduction: The Motive: A 3-D Boundary for MHD models The Analysis: 3-D Heliospheric Tomography – (a fit to data) (Time-dependent view from a single observer location) The Data Sets: STELab IPS This Project: The analysis that includes in-situ data and magnetic field trace to near the solar surface.

  3. DATA STELab IPS Heliospheric Analyses IPS line-of-sight response STELab IPS array near Mt. Fuji STELab IPS array systems

  4. Density Turbulence • Scintillation index, m, is a measure of level of turbulence • Normalized Scintillation index, g = m(R) / <m(R)> • g > 1  enhancement in Ne • g  1  ambient level of Ne • g < 1  rarefaction in Ne (CourtesyofP.K.Manoharan) A scintillation enhancement with respect to the ambient wind identifies the presence of a region of increased turbulence/density and a possible CME along the line-of-sight to the radio source.

  6. Tokumaru, M., et al., 2010, J. Geophys Res., 115, A04102. “Corotating” analysis since 1985 “Solar cycle evolution of the solar wind speed from 1985-2008” (part of the result is shown here). The recently past solar minimum is pretty special in that there is a large variation of solar wind speed over solar latitude.

  7. UCSD Heliospheric 3-D Reconstruction Jackson, B.V., et al., 2008, Adv. in Geosciences, 21, 339 The outward-flowing solar wind structure follows very specific physics as it moves outward from the Sun. We assume conservation of mass and mass flux. LOS Weighting

  8. Jackson, B.V., et al., 2008, Adv. in Geosciences, 21, 339. The UCSD 3D-reconstruction program The “traceback matrix”(any solar wind model works)In the traceback matrix the location of the upper level data point (starred) is an interpolation in x of Δx2 and the unit x distance – Δx3 distance or (1 – Δx3). Similarly, the value of Δt at the starred point is interpolated by the same spatial distance. Each 3D traceback matrix contains a regular grid of values ΣΔx, ΣΔy, ΣΔt, ΣΔv, and ΣΔm that locates the origin of each point in the grid at each time and its change in velocity and density from the heliospheric model.

Projections on the reference surface are shown. These weighted components are inverted on this 2D surface to provide the time-dependent tomographic reconstruction. 13 July 2000 14 July 2000

The inclusion of in-situ data provides a more stable 3D reconstruction solution globally, and allows a better interpolation across time intervals without much remote-sensing data.

  24. Summary: The analysis of IPS data provides low-resolution global measurements of density and velocity with a time cadence of one day for both density and velocity, and slightly longer cadences for some magnetic field components. There are several data sources (IPS, SMEI), but the most long-term and substantiated data source (that also measures velocity globally) is IPS data from the STELab arrays in Japan. Accurate observations of inner heliosphere parameters coupled withthe best physicscan extrapolate these outward to Earth or the interstellar boundary.
