Variable Cascade Dynamics and Intermittency in the Solar Wind at 1 AU
Abstract
This work reports the results from a multi-instrumental campaign that was planned and executed to record the Total Solar Eclipse that occurred on Friday 20th of March 2015 in Longyearbyen (78oN, 15oE) on Svalbard, Norway. Both airborne hyperspectral- and ground-based camera systems were used to image the event. A novel video accumulation filter technique is presented that reveals small scale chromospheric features. The result is fused with a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image of the Corona taken from the old Auroral Station in Adventdalen. The Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO) was also operative, but did not detect any dayside auroral signatures. The background sky condition was too bright during totality for the auroral cameras. The airborne hyperspectral data is used to cluster and classify active solar regions with prominences from the background continuum.
