  1. IPS tomographyIPS-MHD tomography

  2. However because of the line-of-sight integration effect of IPS, solar wind had to be studied with blurred images. In order to deconvolve the line-of-sight integration effect, Computer Assisted Tomographic (CAT) method was developed. Since Hewish et al. reported the discovery of the interplanetary scintillation (IPS) phenomena in 1964, the IPS method has been one of the few devices which can observe solar wind in three-dimensional space. Although the solar wind is extended radio scattering medium, old IPS analysis method assumed that the IPS observes the solar wind at a P-point where radio scattering is mostly weighted.

  8. Since the baselines of STELab system are as short as Fresnel radius, STELab cannot resolve solar wind structure. However ….. STELab 327MHz RF=150 km base line =100km EISCAT 930MHz RF= 90km base line = 380 km

  9. Both solar rotation and solar wind outward motion provide us a large number of lines of sight, with which we can obtain perspective views of three dimensional solar wind structures. Using these large number of lines of sight, we can apply Computer Assisted Tomography for IPS analysis. This technique can retrieve not only unbiased solar wind parameters but also provides high spatial resolution.

  10. SW Born 近似 In conditions of weak scattering, the IPS observations can be mathematically represented using the Born approximation in which the observed diffraction pattern is regarded as a weighted sum of contributions from each thin scattering layer perpendicular to the line of sight.

  22. MHD-IPS tomography • IPS observations are used as outer boundary conditions. • Not only V and N but also T and B are obtained. • Stream-stream interaction is considered. • The analysis can be made beyond 1 AU even to • heliospheric boundary.

  24. MHD-IPS CAT Simulation is started from the distance where the SW gets a final cruising velocity such as R>10 Rs. Inner boundary conditions T from an empirical relation with V, N from an empirical relation with V, B from observation and potential field model, V is determined by MHD-IPS CAT. Outer boundary condition IPS observations

  25. Advantages for MHD simulation to collaborate with IPS. • Simulation can starts from distance where SW acceleration is almost completed. • Simulation can use IPS observations as outer boundary conditions.
