The evolution of shocks near the surface of Sun during the epoch of Halloween 2003

We use a one-dimensional, time-dependent adaptive grid MHD code to study the evolution of shocks (both slow and fast shocks) from the surface of the Sun through the heliosphere. In order to achieve the goal, we track a specific solar event's plasma and magnetic field output as it propagates into interplanetary space with a possible geoeffective co…
