Exploring the Substructures of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Their Space Weather Impacts
Research Interests
CMEs' Substructures in the Heliosphere: Origin and evolution of CMEs' substructures, such as shock, sheath, and CME-associated magnetic flux rope; turbulence across shocks; non-coherency in CME flux rope at mesoscales; asymmetric and instantaneous expansion of CME flux rope; formation of different types of interplanetary shocks; CME-CME interactions
Space Weather: Storm sudden commencement; geomagnetic storms; Forbush decreases; acceleration of SEPs due to shocks
An approach to identify the compressed region of the magnetic cloud (MC) and mark the MC axis
An animated cartoon which shows the identification of MC axis for N to S rotated MC.
Non-conventional approach for deriving the radial sizes and instantaneous expansion speeds of CMEs at different instances
Illustration of a non-conventional approach showing the expansion of a CME as it passes over an in situ spacecraft.
Evolution of 2010 April 3 CME in the coronagraphs and heliospheric imagers of STEREO-A and STEREO-B.
Evolution of CME substructures from the Sun to Earth.
A non-constant profile for the aspect ratio in the interplanetary medium.
