Upstream whistler-mode waves at planetary bow shocks: A brief review
Russell, C.
Upstream whistler-mode waves appear to be present in front of all collisionless shocks. Because the whistler-mode group velocity exceeds its phase velocity over the frequency range in which the phase velocity increases with frequency, interesting alterations of polarization and frequency spectrum occur in the observer's reference frame. Landau res…
Present status and future challenges of modeling the Sun Earth end-to-end system
Baker, D. N.; Weigel, R. S.; Elkington, S. R. +1 more
Several research groups are presently modeling key portions of the solar terrestrial environment. Large-scale models of the solar corona, of the interplanetary medium, and of the coupled magnetosphere ionosphere system are providing important insights into the dynamics and temporal evolution of these regions during normal, as well as disturbed, co…
The evolution of shocks near the surface of Sun during the epoch of Halloween 2003
Wu, S. T.; Dryer, M.; Smith, Z. +4 more
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…
