On the Generation, Propagation, and Reflection of Alfven Waves from the Solar Photosphere to the Distant Heliosphere
S. R. Cranmer, A. A. van Ballegooijen
We present a comprehensive model of the global properties of Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere and fast solar wind. Linear non-WKB wave transport equations are solved from the p…
Coronal Heating versus Solar Wind Acceleration
Steven R. Cranmer
Parker's initial insights from 1958 provided a key causal link between the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. However, we still do not know what fr…
New Insights into Solar Wind Physics from SOHO
Steven R. Cranmer
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) was launched in December 1995 with a suite of instruments designed to answer long-standing questions about the Sun's internal structur…
New views of the solar wind with the Lambert W function
Steven R. Cranmer
This paper presents closed-form analytic solutions to two illustrative problems in solar physics that have been considered not solvable in this way previously. Both the outflow spe…
