Caption: Figure 3.
Connectivity fractions as a function of time in the ±6∘ latitude zone: (a) SM runs; (b) E24 runs. We have removed the first 200 hr of the simulations, during which the heliospheric relaxation phase occurs. Closed flux is green, disconnected is sky blue, open folded flux is gold, open not-folded is rose, and total open flux is orange. Average values with standard deviation errors from 200 hr to the end of the TD simulations are shown on the right within each plot. The values for the SS simulations are shown as circles at 526 hr for SMSS and 320 hr for E24SS.
