Solar effects at Earth as observed by the STEREO Heliospheric Imagers
Abstract
The twin STEREO spacecraft each carry a Heliospheric Imager. These wide angle cameras have provided the first ever observations of Earth directed events from a position outside the Sun-Earth line. We present combined observations taken with the instruments onboard STEREO, SOHO and ACE spacecraft as we track the progress of material through the heliosphere. At Earth, the impact of the solar wind on the Earth's atmosphere is tracked by the Cluster satellites and EISCAT radars.
