Solar Atmosphere
• Photosphere– thin layer of low-density gas– allows visible photons to escape into space– currents of rising from beneath cause formation granulation– magnetic fields threading outward
• magnetic structures (sunspots, active regions, etc.)
• Chromosphere– 3000 – 5000 km thick, above photosphere– 5000 – 5x105 K– Huge convection cells lead to jet-like phenomena
• Corona– extends from chromosphere to several R– extremely hot, 3x106 K (causes high state of ionization)– energy transport by magnetic fields (heating!?)

Solar Wind
• The concept of continuous flow of solar wind was developed in 1950's
• Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun, and explained the formation of the tail and its deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun.
• Parker (1964) postulated the continuous expansion of the solar corona, i.e., the outward streaming coronal gas the 'solar wind'.

Solar Wind
• Supersonic outflow of plasma from the Sun's corona to IP medium• Composed of approximately equal numbers of ions and electrons • Ion component consists predominantly of protons (95%), with a small
amount of doubly ionized helium and trace amounts of heavier ions• Embedded in the out flowing solar wind plasma is a weak magnetic
field known as the interplanetary magnetic field • Solar wind varies in density, velocity, temperature, and magnetic field
properties with– solar cycle– heliographic latitude– heliocentric distance, and – rotational period – Also varies in response to shocks, waves, and turbulence that perturb the
interplanetary flow. • Average values of solar wind parameters near the Earth (1 AU)
– Velocity 468 km/s – Density = 8.7 protons/cc– magnetic field strength = 6.7 nT

Formation of the Solar Wind• For a steady state of the spherically symmetric flow
of solar wind,– Equation of motion
– Equation of continuity
– Energy equation
– Temperature variation with distance (Parker 1964)
– At the base of the corona, E < 0; for b = 0.3, E > 0
( b<<1 )
![Page 19: P.K. Manoharan Radio Astronomy Centre National Centre for Radio Astrophysics Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Ooty 643001, India mano@ncra.tifr.res.in](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649cbb5503460f94982fae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Supersonic Flow
• at the base of the corona,
– E is negative
– system is stable
– gravitation potential decreases as 1/r
– thermal energy is governed by T(r), which a weak function of distance, r
– for b ~ 0.3, E > 0 at R ~ 10 Rsun
– solar wind flows with supersonic speed
– gravity aids the nozzle flow (like a rocket jet)
• to explain the solar wind speed near the Sun and in the entire heliosphere

Thermal and Wave driven
• Solar wind driven by thermal conduction– not adequate to explain high-speeds at 1 AU
– some other non-thermal processes must play a role
– additional energy • work done on the plasma or by heating, or both
– spectral broadening suggest substantial increase in turbulence at the low corona (Alfven waves)
• model should address heating (ion and electron) and damping/dissipation of waves
– at what height energy is added to accelerate solar wind

Solar Wind Measurements
Solar wind measuring techniques
• Near the orbit of the Earth (~1 AU), the solar wind properties are from in situ measurements– Helios satellite measure up to ~0.3 AU
– Ulysses first spacecraft probed the polar region
• Scattering techniques provide the three-dimensional view of the heliosphere– various distances
– all latitudes
– long-term variations and large-scale structure of the solar wind

Coronal Holes
• Significantly lower density and temperature than the typical background corona
• Areas of the Sun that are magnetically open to interplanetary space– Configuration is divergent
• Observed in X-ray, EUV and radio wavelengths that originate in the corona
• Grouped into 3 categories: polar, non-polar (isolated) and transient coronal holes
• Sources of high-speed solar wind streams– Give rise to recurrent geomagnetic storms– Important in heliospheric and space weather studies

• CME Speed profile, V(R), shows dependence on initial speed
• CME goes through continuous changes, which depend on its interaction with the surrounding solar wind
• Arrival time and Speed of the CME at 1 AU predicted by the speed profile are in good agreement with measured values
• Mean travel time curve for different initial speeds suggests that up to a distance of ~80 Rsun, the internal energy of the CME (or its expansion) dominates and however, at larger distances, the CME's interaction with the solar wind appears to control the propagation
• Most of the CMEs tend to attain the speed of the ambient flow at 1 AU or further out.
• These results are useful to quantify the ‘drag force’ imposed on the CME by the interaction with the surrounding solar wind and it is essential in modeling the CME propagation.

Speed of the solar wind can be computed from the cross-correlation delay. But, it is restricted to :
• Baseline length has to be a few times longer than the Fresnel radius, and
• Baseline should be parallel to the projected solar wind flow direction.
