The Ambient Solar Wind
Magnetic and velocity structure are shown for the steady-state solar wind solution. The purple sheet shows the current sheet while high speed wind is shown as orange (760 km/s) and slow speed wind as green (470 km/s).

Features of the Model
CME initiated by force imbalance Flux rope propagates from active region 8210 AMR essential to treat the many length scales of the system including active
region length scale in a 3D corona based on magnetic synoptic maps Future simulations will take the CME to 1 AU and use model output to drive
magnetospheric simulations
