1 Comparison of Solar Wind and CME Data: Current and Previous Solar Minima David Webb 1 & Sarah Gibson 2 1 ISR, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 2 HAO/NCAR, Boulder, CO
2 The What and Why of the Whole Heliospheric Interval (WHI)? Comparison of Current Solar Minimum (23/24) with Previous Minimum (22/23): - How typical was WHI (2008) of current minimum (~2009)? - Previous minimum - Whole Sun Month (WSM ) - Unusually deep (and weak?) and complex - How did it evolve? - Including transients (CIRs and CMEs) Summary & Future Plans Outline 20 May 2010 Webb-SORCE-Keystone, CO 2
3 Overview: What and Why WHI? Internationally coordinated observing and modeling effort Focus on observations originating from Carrington Rotation 2068: March 20 - April 16, Synoptic observing programs: Broad heliospheric coverage, provide context and baseline measurements - Targeted observing campaigns: Coordinated observations run during CROT Observational input from 27 solar, 19 heliospheric, and 21 geospace instruments - ~200 people officially registered (still growing) WHI Science Goals: 1. Connect the origins and effects of solar structure and activity through the solar wind to the Earth and other planetary systems 2. Characterize the 3-D solar minimum heliosphere Hope was WHI would be good example of ground-state solar minimum, but it was early. But also we hoped for sufficient structure/activity to make the connections interesting. 20 May And 2010 that is just what we got! Webb-SORCE-Keystone, CO 3

7 How typical was WHI of Solar Minimum? Depends what you look at, and how you define minimum If minimum defined as a point in time, WHI was a bit early. But then where exactly was that minimum point? Oct 2008: minimum of 13-month smoothed sunspot number Aug 2008: minimum defined as point where new cycle sunspot number (reversed polarity) is greater than old cycle sunspots WHI (March/April 2008) Courtesy 20 May Tom 2010 Woods 7 Courtesy David Hathaway

10 Comparison of Solar Minima: At the Sun These differences are evident in comparing WHI to WSM: - Similar low sunspot numbers - Smaller polar coronal holes dipole not as dominant - Wider streamer belt warped heliospheric current sheet (HCS) in solar wind - Low-latitude open flux more fast wind streams at low latitudes in solar wind Cycle 22: Whole Sun Month (WSM) Cycle 23: Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) NSO-GONG HAO/MLSO NSO-GONG Courtesy Gordon Petrie 20 May 2010 Webb-SORCE-Keystone, CO 10

12 Comparison of Solar Minima: At the Sun... More open magnetic flux at low latitudes in 2008 than in The disappearance of large, low-latitude coronal holes in 2009 did not mean the global field became completely dominated by the dipole, as in The MAS model above exhibited small open field regions at all latitudes in 2009, possibly because of the weak polar field. Low latitude open flux may still be 20 there, May 2010 but on smaller size scales Webb-SORCE-Keystone, implying less of impact COon Earth. 12

27 Summary: WHI vs. WSM Cremades et al. More ejecta More jets WHI Less ambiguity in source identification Less than 20% produced by Ars Ejecta at all position angles Jets at polar latitudes Less Parkerian solar wind WSM Less ejecta More streamer swelling events Large uncertainties due to poor coverage, bad cadence More than 40% produced by ARs Predominance at equatorial latitudes Non-radial jets Alignment at 135º and 315º No significant MCs or ICMEs at Earth. No strong magnetic field or flux. 27
28 Solar Minima Studies: Summary The current solar minimum is not just long and deep, but also extended and complex WHI illustrates certain aspects of this solar minimum well: - Quiet side irradiance (as low as any this minimum) - Low-latitude coronal holes high-speed streams geospace periodicities The length of this cycle allows us to probe Sun-Earth physical processes 1. In 2008 geospace was forced by high-speed streams, even though solar irradiance, activity, and IMF were lower than 1996 allows us to isolate the effects of fast solar wind 2. In 2009 solar magnetic flux moved to smaller spatial scales; high-speed streams no longer periodically forced the Earth allows us to study the Sun-Earth system at its quietest Coronal density/mass was similar at last two minima - CME rates and masses were similar - CME mass/year less at end of SC May 2010 Webb-SORCE-Keystone, CO 28
