Understanding and modeling the solar wind: challenges, limitations and solutions towards better predictions KU Leuven
One of the biggest challenges in current space weather research is to predict the characteristics that the high speed solar wind streams will have when arriving at the Earth (or at other planets) based on properties of their source, the coronal holes observed at the Sun. The innovative simulation tool EUHFORIA (EUropean Heliospheric FORecasting Information Asset, Pomoell and Poedts, 2018) is a new heliospheric 3D MHD model that has been ...
