What Does SWAN Stand For?
SWAN stands for Solar Wind Anisotropies
SWAN, which stands for Solar Wind Anisotropies, refers to the variations in the directional properties of solar wind particles as they travel through space. These anisotropies can influence space weather conditions and are key to understanding the dynamics of the heliosphere, including interactions with planetary magnetospheres and interstellar medium. By studying SWAN, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms driving solar wind behavior, contributing to predictive models that assess the impact of solar activity on Earth and other celestial bodies.
