A Next-Generation Model of the Corona and Solar Wind
Abstract
A central goal of solar and space physics is to understand the influence of the sun and its activity on the heliosphere, particularly the space environment near the Earth. A quantitative description of the ambient solar corona and solar wind is key to understanding this influence. This report describes important features of CORHEL (for CORona-Heliosphere), a suite of models and tools for modeling the solar corona and inner heliosphere. Support from this project has facilitated further development and key improvements to CORHEL, including the extension to thermodynamic MHD solutions, incorporation of the WSA model for quick look solutions, and the use of multiple solar observatories for magnetic map input.
