Space Weather: Using L1 Observations to Predict Solar Wind Conditions at Earth

这项研究将发展经验关系，以确定在L1的太阳风事件出现在地球上的类似形式的概率。 PI将查看这两个位置的等离子体和磁场数据之间的相关系数，以确定L1预测对各种太阳风条件的可靠性。 此外，他还将研究具体的特征，如压力脉冲和冲击，以了解在L1探测到的在地球上观测到的百分比，以及这些特征的强度是否在L1和地球之间存在差异。 然后，这些经验关系可以被纳入预测模型，以衡量预测的可靠性。

This study will develop empirical relations to determine the probability that solar wind events at L1 appear in a similar form at Earth. The PI will look at correlation coefficients between plasma and magnetic field data at these two locations for various solar wind conditions to determine the reliability of L1 predictions for various solar wind conditions. In addition, he will look at specific features, such as pressure pulses and shocks, to see what percentage detected at L1 are observed at Earth and whether the strength of these features varies from L1 to Earth. These empirical relations can then be incorporated into forecasting models to give a measure of the reliability of the predictions.
