ENLIL Solar Wind Prediction - Velocity
-
Results of heliospheric computations are shown between 0.1 and 1.1 AU
for a -/+ 5 day span about begining of the day with the most recent
solar wind source data.
-
Date (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss UTC) at the top left corresponds to
displayed results.
-
Date (yyy-mm-dd UTC -/+ days) at the top right gives time relative
to beginning of the day with the most recent solar wind source data.
Negative (positive) values are for times prior (subsequent)
to that reference date.
-
Three slices passing through Earth show the radial component of
the solar wind velocity using the color scale given at the bottom left.
-
The white line shows the heliospheric current sheet which represents
a magnetic sector boundary.
-
The polarity of magnetic sectors is indicated by blue or red color at
boundaries of the computational region.
The blue is for negative (toward the Sun) and the red is for positive
(away from the Sun) polarity.
-
The black-and-white line shows the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF)
line passing through Earth.
