Topological data analysis predicts solar wind streams from coronal holes

Researchers have developed a novel method using topological data analysis to predict high-speed solar wind streams originating from coronal holes. By analyzing the topology of extreme ultraviolet solar images, the system can forecast the occurrence of these streams at Earth with a four-day lead time. This approach, which does not explicitly use geometric descriptors of coronal holes, offers a transparent and computationally efficient way to understand the relationship between coronal structure topology and subsequent solar wind activity.

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of topological data analysis for space weather prediction, potentially improving forecasting accuracy for geomagnetic events.

    Explainable Prediction of High-Speed Solar Wind Streams driven by Coronal Holes via Topological Data Analysis

    arXiv:2610.35549v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-speed solar wind streams (HSSs) originating from coronal holes (CHs) are an important driver of recurrent geomagnetic activity. Since HSSs are associated to coronal structures visible in extreme-ultraviolet observations, this…
