Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections Observed by MESSENGER and Venus Express
Forsyth, R. J.; Good, S. W.
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed by the MESSENGER and Venus Express spacecraft have been catalogued and analysed. The ICMEs were identified by a relatively smooth rotation of the magnetic field direction consistent with a flux rope structure, coinciding with a relatively enhanced magnetic field strength. A total of 35 ICMEs w…
Ensemble Modeling of CMEs Using the WSA-ENLIL+Cone Model
Jian, L. K.; Odstrcil, D.; Zheng, Y. +8 more
Ensemble modeling of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) provides a probabilistic forecast of CME arrival time that includes an estimation of arrival-time uncertainty from the spread and distribution of predictions and forecast confidence in the likelihood of CME arrival. The real-time ensemble modeling of CME propagation uses the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA…
Hinode SOT Plate Scale Reinvestigated by G-Band Images on the 2012 Transit of Venus
Shimizu, T.; Imamura, T.; Nakamura, M. +1 more
The Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) successfully observed the transit of Venus with an unprecedented high spatial resolution on 5 - 6 June 2012, providing images of the aureole refracted by the atmosphere of Venus and the dark Venus disk against the bright solar surface. The transit of Venus provided a unique opportunity for calibrating the p…
Coronal Density Structures and CMEs: Superior Solar Conjunctions of Mars Express, Venus Express, and Rosetta: 2004, 2006, and 2008
Tellmann, Silvia; Tyler, G. Leonard; Tsurutani, Bruce T. +5 more
Coronal radio-sounding experiments were carried out using the S-band (2.3 GHz) and X-band (8.4 GHz) signals of the ESA Mars Express, Venus Express, and Rosetta spacecraft during five superior conjunctions occurring in 2004, 2006 (3×), and 2008/2009. Differential frequency and propagation delay (ranging) observations were recorded during these oppo…
Solar-Wind Bulk Velocity Throughout the Inner Heliosphere from Multi-Spacecraft Measurements
Fedorov, A.; Barabash, S.; Sauvaud, J. -A. +6 more
We extrapolate solar-wind bulk velocity measurements for different in-ecliptic heliospheric positions by calculating the theoretical time lag between the locations. The solar-wind bulk velocity dataset is obtained from in-situ plasma measurements by STEREO A and B, SOHO, Venus Express, and Mars Express. During their simultaneous measurements betwe…
Transient Structures and Stream Interaction Regions in the Solar Wind: Results from EISCAT Interplanetary Scintillation, STEREO HI and Venus Express ASPERA-4 Measurements
Grande, M.; Harrison, R. A.; Davies, J. A. +7 more
We discuss the detection and evolution of a complex series of transient and quasi-static solar-wind structures in the days following the well-known comet 2P/Encke tail disconnection event in April 2007. The evolution of transient solar-wind structures ranging in size from <105 km to >106 km was characterised using one-m…
In-situ Observations of a Co-rotating Interaction Region at Venus Identified by IPS and STEREO
Barabash, S.; Grande, M.; Dorrian, G. D. +2 more
This paper reports on the first combination of results from in-situ plasma measurements at Venus, using data from Venus Express, and remote sensing data from observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS). In so doing, we demonstrate the value of combining remote sensing and in-situ techniques for the purpose of investigating interaction betwe…
