Velocities in the latitudinal centers of HSSs, belonging to coronal holes with areas of 1 (blue), 2 (red), 4 (green), and ﹩8\times {10}^{10}\,{\mathrm{km}}^{2}﹩ (yellow). (a) Snapshots of the radial velocity profile, taken at 1 day (dotted), 2.25 days (dashed), and 3.5 days (solid lines) after the center of the coronal hole has crossed the central meridian. (b) Velocity of the stream interface ﹩{v}_{\mathrm{SI}}﹩ derived by its radial displacement with time vs. the distance of the stream interface to the Sun. (c) Peak velocity vp of the HSS vs. the radial distance of the location of the peak velocity to the Sun.
