ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction - Evolution at Earth
-
Results of heliospheric simulations are shown as evolution of
parameters at Earth, planets, and spacecraft.
-
Date (in UTC) at the top center corresponds to the beginning of
computations.
-
Plots from top to down show the radial component of the flow
velocity, plasma number density, mean temperature, and magnetic
field strength.
-
Black lines show profiles at the location of Earth, planets, and
spacecraft (actual location name is indicated at the top right).
-
Vertical black line indicates beginning of the new prediction
which is always at the beginning of the calendar date (UTC).
Note that a single, corotating map is used to drive the heliospheric
simulations for -/+ day span about that beginning.
Values to the left (right) from the vertical black line thus
represents "historic" ("prediction") results.
-
Vertical black dashed line indicates date of the GONG
observation file used to calculate WSA input data.
Note that the heliospheric computation uses available WSA
input data collected during the first day since the
beginning of the heliospheric computations.
-
Observations, if available, are shown by color symbols.
Note that the plot is generated after the heliospheric
simulation is finished; thus the observations may cover
one day after the beginning date of the heliospheric
simulation (indicated by the vertical black line).
