Abstract:
Coronagraphs, polarimeters, and heliospheric imagers are providing new insight into how structures in the solar wind form and develop as they flow from the inner corona into the heliosphere. With this comes a whole new frontier of physical observables in 3D, including kinetic (velocity and acceleration), thermodynamic (density, temperature, and shock boundary), and magnetic field properties. These measurements inform and challenge models of global solar wind flow, turbulence, and CME propagation. We will discuss recent advances in quantifying physical properties of the corona and solar wind using coronagraph and heliospheric imager data, and make predictions of what new models and instrumentation (including the in-development PUNCH mission) will bring us in the future.
