ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction - Source Conditions
-
Boundary conditions for the heliospheric computations are shown
as values of the main parameters on the boundary surface and
along the central meridian (latitude, theta) and equator
(longiude, phi) lines.
-
Date (in UTC) at the top center corresponds to displayed results.
-
Date (in UTC) at the top right indicates date of the latest observations
used plus predicted days.
-
Red lines on the velocity plots show the characteristic speed (fast-mode
MHD wave).
The solar wind outflow velocity (black lines) has to be larger than the
characteristic speed for successful numerical computations.
-
Black (blue) lines on the magnetic field plots show the radial (azimuthal)
magnetic field component.
-
Coordinates on the boundary surface plots are in degrees.
Coordinates on the latitudinal and longitudinal plots are in
numbers of numerical cells.
-
Values vs. time are at centers of the maps, i.e., lat=0 and lon=0 degs.
-
Numerical values at the bottom indicate the angular grid resolution for
the latitudnal (theta) and longitudnal (phi) directions in degrees and
in solar radii.
