The simple ballistic method extrapolates solar wind parameters from the point of measurement to a chosen heliospheric position by assuming that major solar wind structures are persistent and arrive relatively unaltered to the target position. The method considers the rotation period of the Sun while assuming a constant solar wind speed during radial propagation. We improve the simple ballistic model by considering the interaction between the slow and the fast solar wind with a pressure-correction during the propagation. Instead of extrapolating from the position of a single spacecraft, we apply this pressure-corrected ballistic method to 2D speed maps of the solar source surface available from solar coronal models to determine the solar wind speed in the inner heliosphere in 3D, between latitudes of ±50°. We also take into account the effects of the solar differential rotation in our model. Our method is simple, fast and it can be applied to different source surface datasets. The results of our model are validated with in situ data from the ACE spacecraft. We find that the pressure-corrected ballistic method can give accurate predictions of the solar wind in 3D.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2115-7251}, orcid-numbers = {Németh, Zoltán/0000-0001-9527-3447;

We are interested in comparing and finding analogies on the plasma environments of planets as well. Also it is vital to understand how our direct cosmic environment can affect our own planet, so space weather is another important topic that we focus on. In order to engage in answering these questions we use the science data measured by several different space missions. We are actively participating in the international mission teams, and take part in data analysis and the publication of new results. Our team has been involved in several major space missions from the earliest planning phases through the development, building and testing of onboard instruments and finally the evaluation of the measurements in space.

The interface between fast and slow solar wind is called the stream interface, which often has considerable north-south tilt. We apply a sliding window correlation method on multi-spacecraft data in order to obtain the time delay between the spacecraft. Using these time delays and in-situ solar wind velocity measurements, we can shift the positions of two spacecraft, and, together with the position of the reference spacecraft, we can reconstruct the spatial orientation of the stream interface. We examined four CIRs from two different solar sources at the beginning of 2007 using ACE, WIND and STEREO-A spacecraft data. The gradually increasing distance between STEREO-A and the other spacecraft provide an opportunity to determine the effects of spacecraft separation on the quality of the results. In three out of the four events, the determined planes generally follow the Parker spiral in the ecliptic, their off-ecliptic tilt is determined by the position of the source of the high-speed stream. For the fourth event, STEREO-A was probably too far away for this method to be successfully applicable.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2115-7251}, orcid-numbers = {Németh, Zoltán/0000-0001-9527-3447} }
