Global Distribution of the Solar Wind Flux and Velocity From SOHO/SWAN During SC-23 and SC-24

Schmidt, W.; Quémerais, E.; Koutroumpa, D. +1 more

We analyze SOHO (SOlar Heliospheric Observatory)/SWAN (Solar Wind ANisotropy) hydrogen Lyman-α data collected between 1996 and 2018 to derive the solar wind latitudinal distribution over time. Full-sky interplanetary Lyman-α maps are inverted to derive the total hydrogen ionization rate latitude profiles, normalized to proton charge-exchange and p…
