Simulation vs Observation of Solar Wind LENAs

• Simulations of SWLENA Spinograms

  • Flux computed along line of sight from s/c to 50 RE to create image every 2 minutes.
  • Images collapsed to orbit plane, laid up as strips.

    • Upper Panel: sun in FOV
    • Lower Panel: sun beyond FOV

• Observations of SWLENAs as Spinograms

  • Flux measured by IMAGE LENA imager, at 2 minute time spacing.
  • Images are collapsed to orbit plane, laid up as strips vs. time.

    • Upper panel: sun in FOV
    • Lower panel: sun beyond FOV

After Collier, Fok et al., JGR, in review, 2001.
