Magnetopause location based on ACE and DSCOVR data
Abstract
Solar wind propagation from L1 point to the Earth orbit has been realized in terms of simple convection model taking data from DSCOVR and ACE as input. Data from the two spacecraft were processed since 1st of March, 2017 and solar wind parameters measured by spacecrafts at L1 point were compared. Solar wind parameters calculated at the Earth orbit were compared to that collected in OMNI database.Subsolar distance has been calculated using Shue, Suvorov-Kuznetsova, Sibeck, Petrinek-Russel, Kalegaev-Lutov models of the magnetopause. The obtained results were compared for several quiet and disturbed periods.
