A leaky waveguide model for MHD wave driven winds from coronal holes.
Abstract
High speed solar wind streams are now known to originate in discrete open field magnetic structures within the solar corona called coronal holes. The simple model presented in this paper demonstrates that coronal holes can act as waveguides for MHD waves. These waves serve as a source of additional acceleration for the solar wind.
