seasonal, topical
   Happy Halloween !

• MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) simulation study of solar corona and solar wind
• solar photospheric magnetic field data and other solar/interplanetary data as the input for the simulation
• space weather related issues such as the global coronal structures, the coronal mass ejection, and the interplanetary disturbance propagation

• Daily coronal MHD simulation : Figures and plots of my quasi-real time coronal MHD simulation using daily-updated SOHO/MDI data. 1 AM begins the routine job that gets MDI data via http, processes the data, then, the time-relaxation MHD simulation starts. New plots are generated 7 to 10 AM (pacific time).
• Prediction of solar corona at the total eclipse, August 01, 2008.
• MHD tomography for IPS observation of the solar wind (link to website at Solar Terrestrial Environment Lab. of Nagoya University, Japan).
