Characterizing the specific energy and pressure in near-Earth magnetic clouds
Characterizing the specific energy and pressure in near-Earth magnetic clouds
The pressure and energy density of the gas and magnetic field inside solar coronal mass ejections (in relation to that in the ambient solar wind) is thought to play an important role in determining their dynamics as they propagate through the heliosphere. We compare the specific energy (${\rm erg\,g^{-1}}$) [comprising …
