A summary of WIND magnetic clouds for years 1995-2003: model-fitted parameters, associated errors and classifications (2006, background): “There are other good examples of small flux ropes in the solar wind (e.g. Moldwin et al., 1999) that are apparently not MCs for many reasons, as argued by Moldwin et al. There were at least 4 MCs with a core-annulus structure (as defined by right side of Fig.”
The Heliospheric Magnetic Field (2013, background): “It’s likely such magnetic clouds are the largest events in a spectrum of flux-rope associated solar ejecta (Moldwin et al., 2000; Rouillard et al., 2011).”
Direct evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar wind near 1 AU (2004, background): “In contrast, Moldwin et al. [1995, 2000] have suggested that reconnection might commonly occur far from the Sun in the solar wind at the quasistationary heliospheric current sheet that normally encircles the Sun and have presented observations of small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind t”
