Space Weather: Concerning the Solar Wind Input into the Magnetosphere

这个项目将更好地确定在何种条件下，近地太阳风监测仪可以用来测量到达日侧磁层顶的参数。利用上游航天器，如IMP-8、ISEE 1/2和IRM，该项目将尝试(1)确定太阳风特征的尺度大小，(2)比较观测到的和预测的切向和旋转不连续的时间滞后，(3)确定从上游监测器预测IMF Bz的效果如何，(4)测试高时间分辨率磁场测量是否可以代表动压，(5)确定前震如何为太阳风提供先决条件。(6)确定由不连续面与弓形激波相互作用产生的波如何传播到磁层顶。

This project will better determine the conditions under which near- Earth solar wind monitors can be relied upon to measure the parameters arriving at the dayside magnetopause. Using upstream spacecraft such as IMP-8, ISEE 1/2, and IRM, the project will attempt to (1) determine scale sizes of solar wind features, (2) compare observed and predicted time lags for tangential and rotationl discontinuities, (3) determine how well IMF Bz can be predicted from upstream monitors, (4) test if high time resolution magnetic field measurements can proxy for dynamic pressure, (5) determine how the foreshock preconditions the solar wind, and (6) determine how the waves generated by discontinuities interacting with the bow shock propagate to the magnetopause.
