Modeling the formation and evolution of solar wind microstreams: from coronal plumes to propagating Alfvénic velocity spikes
Bahaeddine Gannouni, Victor Réville, Alexis Rouillard
We investigate the origin of mesoscale structures in the solar wind called microstreams defined as enhancements in solar wind speed and temperature that last several hours. They we…
