Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Measurements of fast solar wind streams from the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft provide strong evidence for the interchange reconnection mechanism being responsible for accelerating the fast solar wind.

The evolution of the solar wind. [PDF]
Living Rev Sol Phys, 2021 How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are intimately linked to the solar wind: rotation, magnetism and activity ...

Magnetic Reconnection as the Driver of the Solar Wind [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of the solar corona.

In-situ Switchback Formation in the Expanding Solar Wind [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Recent near-Sun solar-wind observations from Parker Solar Probe have found a highly dynamic magnetic environment, permeated by abrupt radial-field reversals, or “switchbacks.” We show that many features of the observed turbulence are reproduced by a ...

Climate change impacts on planned supply–demand match in global wind and solar energy systems
Nature Energy, 2023 Climate change modulates both energy demand and wind and solar energy supply but a globally synthetic analysis of supply–demand match (SDM) is lacking. Here, we use 12 state-of-the-art climate models to assess climate change impacts on SDM, quantified by

The Evolution and Role of Solar Wind Turbulence in the Inner Heliosphere [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019 The first two orbits of the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft have enabled the first in situ measurements of the solar wind down to a heliocentric distance of 0.17 au (or 36 ).

The Solar Orbiter Solar Wind Analyser (SWA) suite
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 The Solar Orbiter mission seeks to make connections between the physical processes occurring at the Sun or in the solar corona and the nature of the solar wind created by those processes which is subsequently observed at the spacecraft.

The multi-scale nature of the solar wind [PDF]
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2018 The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length scales include the size of the heliosphere, the collisional mean free paths of

The Role of Alfvén Wave Dynamics on the Large-scale Properties of the Solar Wind: Comparing an MHD Simulation with Parker Solar Probe E1 Data [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019 During Parker Solar Probe’s first orbit, the solar wind plasma was observed in situ closer than ever before, the perihelion on 2018 November 6 revealing a flow that is constantly permeated by large-amplitude Alfvénic fluctuations.
