Solar wind stream interaction regions throughout the heliosphere [PDF]
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2018 This paper focuses on the interactions between the fast solar wind from coronal holes and the intervening slower solar wind, leading to the creation of stream interaction regions that corotate with the Sun and may persist for many solar rotations. Stream

Manifestation of solar wind corotating interaction regions in GCR intensity variations
Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023 The regions of interaction between solar wind streams of different speed, known as corotating interaction regions, form an almost constantly existing structure of the inner heliosphere.

Observations of long-lived solar wind streams during 1990-1993 [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1995 Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) can be used to identify changes in solar wind parameters over a wide range in heliographic latitude and elongation and constrain models of its large-scale structure, velocity and density.

Solar Cycle Variability in Coronal Holes and Their Effects on Solar Wind Sources
Space Weather, 2022 Various upstream spacecraft have now observed the solar wind conditions affecting the Earth since the 1970s, covering over four solar activity cycles. These measurements provide a long term picture of the related patterns in large scale incident plasma ...

Global geomagnetic responses to the IMF Bz fluctuations during the September/October 2003 high-speed stream intervals [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2017 In this paper, we follow the coupling from the solar wind to the Earth's magnetotail, geosynchronous orbit, auroral zone and to the ground, during periods of Alfvénic fluctuations in high-speed solar wind streams (HSSs) and their corotating ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 Alfvén waves play an important role in the stability, heating, and transport of magnetized plasmas. They are found to be ubiquitous in solar winds (SW), which mainly propagate outward from the Sun, especially in high-speed streams that originate from ...

Multi-instrument observations of polar cap patches and traveling ionospheric disturbances generated by solar wind Alfvén waves coupling to the dayside magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2022 During minor to moderate geomagnetic storms, caused by corotating interaction regions (CIRs) at the leading edge of high-speed streams (HSSs), solar wind Alfvén waves modulated the magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Many aspects of the 3D structure and evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) remain unexplained. Here, we investigate two main topics: (1) the coherence scale of magnetic fields inside ICMEs, and (2) the dynamic nature of ICME magnetic

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The study reports the first detection of corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in the solar wind by the differential one-way range (DOR) signals transmitted by Tianwen-1. Differential phase delay is calculated for the DOR signals. Variations of the total
