Nonlinear Mhd Waves in the Solar Wind Plasma Structures
We investigate the interaction of magnetohydrody-namic waves with plasma density inhomogeneities. Our numerical study of the full MHD equations shows that: (A) Plasma density inhomogeneities are a source of non-linear generation of transverse com-pressive waves by a plane Alfvén wave, and substantially enhance (by about a factor of 2) the generation of the longitudinal compressive waves. (B) At...
متن کاملWIND observations of coherent electrostatic waves in the solar wind
The time domain sampler (TDS) experiment on WIND measures electric and magnetic wave forms with a sampling rate which reaches 120 000 points per second. We analyse here observations made in the solar wind near the Lagrange point L1. In the range of frequencies above the proton plasma frequency fpi and smaller than or of the order of the electron plasma frequency fpe, TDS observed three kinds of...
متن کاملPropagation of Non-wkb Alfvén Waves in a Multicomponent Solar Wind with Differential Ion Flow
The propagation of dissipationless, hydromagnetic, purely toroidal Alfvén waves in a realistic background three-fluid solar wind with axial symmetry and differential proton-alpha flow is investigated. The short wavelength WKB approximation is not invoked. Instead, the equations that govern the wave transport are derived from standard multi-fluid equations in the five-moment approximation. The A...
متن کاملSelf Organising Maps of Solar Wind Structures
Two Self Organising Map neural networks have been trained to classify structures in the solar wind, one using Bz, n, and V, and the other using p and E. The classification has been done for values of the Dst index at -50, -100, -150, -200, and -250 nT, for events where the gradient of n and V exceeded a certain threshold (shocks as a result of coronal mass ejections) and for events where the gr...
متن کاملSolar cycle variations of solar wind dynamics and structures
This paper reviews solar cycle variations in the heliosphere. We show that some solar cycle changes, such as the correlation between speed and density, result from the evolution of the solar structure from dipolar with strong latitudinal gradients at solar minimum to a disordered field with little latitudinal variation at solar maximum. Other changes, such as the variation of the solar wind dyn...
