A Closer Look at Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Solar Wind at 1 au: Results from Improved Automated Detection
Abstract Small-scale interplanetary magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) are similar to ICMEs in magnetic structure, but are smaller and do not exhibit coronal mass ejection plasma signatures. We present a computationally efficient and GPU-powered version of the single-spacecraft automated SMFR detection algorithm based on the Grad–Shafranov (GS) technique. Our algorithm can …
