Coronal holes (CHs) are regions of open magnetic flux which are the source of high speed solar wind (HSSW) streams. To date, it is not clear which aspects of CHs are of most influence on the properties of the solar wind as it expands through the Heliosphere. Here, we study the relationship between CH properties extracted from AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly) images using CHIMERA (Coronal Hole Identification via Multi-thermal Emission Recognition Algorithm) and HSSW measurements from ACE (Advanced Composition Explorer) at L1. For CH longitudinal widths $Deltatheta_{CH}<$67$^{circ}$, the peak SW velocity ($v_{max}$) is found to scale as $v_{max}~approx~330.8~+~5.7~Deltatheta_{CH}$~km~s$^{-1}$. For larger longitudinal widths ($Deltatheta_{CH}>$67$^{circ}$), $v_{max}$ is found to tend to a constant value ($sim$710~km~s$^{-1}$). Furthermore, we find that the duration of HSSW streams ($Delta t$) are directly related to the longitudinal width of CHs ($Delta t_{SW}$~$approx$~0.09$Deltatheta_{CH}$) and that their longitudinal expansion factor is $f_{SW}~approx 1.2~pm 0.1$. We also derive an expression for the coronal hole flux-tube expansion factor, $f_{FT}$, which varies as $f_{SW} gtrsim f_{FT} gtrsim 0.8$. These results enable us to estimate the peak speeds and durations of HSSW streams at L1 using the properties of CHs identified in the solar corona.
The relationship between the peak velocities of high-speed solar wind streams near Earth and the areas of their solar source regions, i.e., coronal holes, has been known since the 1970s, but it is still physically not well understood. We perform 3D m
We investigate the solar wind energy flux in the inner heliosphere using 12-day observations around each perihelion of Encounter One (E01), Two (E02), Four (E04), and Five (E05) of Parker Solar Probe (PSP), respectively, with a minimum heliocentric d
We analyze the evolution of the interplanetary magnetic field spatial structure by examining the inner heliospheric autocorrelation function, using Helios 1 and Helios 2 in situ observations. We focus on the evolution of the integral length scale (la
The shape of the electron velocity distribution function plays an important role in the dynamics of the solar wind acceleration. Electrons are normally modelled with three components, the core, the halo, and the strahl. We investigate how well the fa
We comparatively studied the long-term variation (1992-2017) in polar brightening observed with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph, the polar solar wind velocity with interplanetary scintillation observations at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental
