Image Details
Caption: Figure 4.
Field line connectivity along the trajectory of Earth in the E24TD calculation, from 2024 March 24 at 19:00 UT (200 hr in the simulation) to the end (2024 April 16 17:00 UT). Top: 3D rendering. An animation showing all angles is available. Bottom: the trajectory in the longitude-latitude plane. As in Figure 3, closed field lines are green, open not-folded are rose, open and folded are gold, and disconnected are sky blue. The double blue arrow shows the beginning of the trajectory.
