Predicting the magnetic vectors within coronal mass ejections arriving at Earth: 1. Initial architecture

Predicting the magnetic vectors within coronal mass ejections arriving at Earth: 1. Initial architecture

The process by which the Sun affects the terrestrial environment on short timescales is predominately driven by the amount of magnetic reconnection between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. Reconnection occurs most efficiently when the solar wind magnetic field has a southward component. The most severe impacts are during the …
