This is an open access multi-year database of current sheets
systematically identified with the one second resolution at 1 AU
If
you study properties of current sheets, turbulence, and intermittency in
the solar wind, you are in the right place. A multi-year database of current sheets observed at 1 AU provided by our
team will allow you to make a comprehensive statistical analysis of all kinds
of dynamical processes associated with current sheets. Using it, one can
(i)
Analyze the level of intermittency&turbulence in different streams/flows
and compare that with the corresponding parameters observed in the quiet
solar wind;
(ii)
Understand features of current sheets formed under different conditions;
(iii)
Make a spectral analysis, analyze distributions, find solar cycle dependences,
etc.
The
database can be useful for young scientists as a material to study the solar
wind at various scales.
The method has been suggested by Dr. Olga Khabarova and realized by Timothy
Sagitov in collaboration with Dr. Roman
Kislov under Dr. Khabarova's supervision. Please, find related publications
