Description
In this work we incorporate Solar Orbiter’s Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI)
Full Disc Telescope (FDT) observations into the Air Force Data Assimilative
Photospheric flux Transport (ADAPT) model to construct more complete global solar
photospheric maps. We feed these maps into the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) model to
reconstruct the solar corona and perform solar wind simulations for a period of two
months in 2024 at multi-spacecraft locations (Solar Orbiter, PSP, ACE, STEREO-A). We
assess the quality of our predictions, and compare our results when no FDT data have
been employed in order to understand how the addition of far side information affects
the open magnetic field topologies on the Sun, their connectivity with various spacecraft
of interest, the shape and structure of the heliospheric current sheet, as well as the
solar wind predictions at different points in the interplanetary space. Our results
demonstrate the value of incorporating far-side information in improving the heliospheric
modeling and forecasting globally, as well as the significance of 4pi continuous
monitoring of the Sun for more reliable space weather predictions overall.
