Origins of the Ambient Solar Wind: Implications for Space Weather (2017, methodology): “Further refinement in the exact functional dependence of u on f and other parameters has led to the widely-used Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) empirical model (see also Arge and Pizzo 2000; Arge et al. 2003; Wang and Sheeley 2006; Riley et al. 2015).”
Major geomagnetic storms (Dst<=-100~nT) generated by corotating interaction regions in 1996--2004 (2006, background): “Although stream speeds can be predicted fairly successfully from a potential field model, for example [e.g., Arge and Pizzo, 2000; Arge et al., 2003], unfortunately they are poor predictors of the geoeffectiveness of streams/CIRs.”
The Open Flux Problem (2017, methodology): “The models were the empirical Wang–Sheeley–Arge (WSA) model (Arge et al. 2003) coupled with the Enlil Heliospheric MHD model (Odstrcil 2003) and the Magnetohydrodynamic Algorithm outside a Sphere (MAS) MHD model, also coupled with Enlil.”
