Brightness fall-off with distance A very tiny signal
27-28 May 2003 CME events brightness time series for select sky sidereal locations With all contaminant signals eliminated, SMEI brightness is shown with a long-term temporal base removed. Data points are obtained on each SMEI orbit every 102-minutes, and the data here show a CME that has passed the Earth and is measured in situ. (1 S10 = 0.46 ± 0.02 ADU)

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.

IPS solar wind pressure 3D-reconstruction at Mars from 1999 - 2004 Time lags between ram pressure peaks (from a sample of 37 peaks). A positive shift indicates a lag in the IPS-derived pressure peak from that from MGS.
Summary: a) SMEI allows derivation of global densities including that from CMEs at high spatial and temporal resolution using Thomson-scattering brightness. b) IPS allows derivation of global velocity, and through conversion of g-level to density – global densities, at low resolution from STELab data, including for CMEs. c) These have been combined to compare with Mars Global Surveyor magnetometer data where solar wind pressure have been derived from 1999 – 2004. Still needed – IPS velocity data from more radio sources in order to provide better velocity resolutions in comparison with derived global densities.
