Caption: Figure 3.

Peak solar wind velocities as measured by the virtual spacecraft vs. the area of the coronal holes in the simulations. The virtual spacecraft was set to 1 au in the solar equatorial plane. The latitudinal position of the coronal holes on the Sun is color-coded. The velocity of the ambient slow solar wind at 1 au is 390 km s⁻¹.
