Space Weather

Space weather, influenced by the solar wind, depends on factors like wind speed, magnetic fluctuations, and particle types. Studies highlight that the properties of the solar wind—such as helium content and how wave-like it is (Alfvénicity)—can help trace its solar origins. For example, slow solar wind that still shows high Alfvénicity may actually come from regions typically associated with fast wind. This blurs traditional categories and may help improve models of how solar wind conditions evolve and affect Earth.
