This site presents results from a research version of the heliospheric code ENLIL for the BepiColombo mission since its launch. The 3-D MHD computations were performed on a numerical grid with the 2-deg angular spacing and they used the WSA coronal maps and CME parameters calculated and fitted at NASA/CCMC. The stable ENLIL version is used by NOAA/SWPC and UK MetOffice for official space weather forecast and by NASA/CCMC for run-on-request support of the space weather community and for operational support of NASA heliospheric and other missions.
Global views of the solar wind radial velocity at ecliptic and meridional planes, and predicted values at the Earth together with the OMNI data. Projected spacecraft positions use acronyms: BEP=BepiColombo, HAY=Hayabusha-2, PSP=Parker Solar Probe, SOL=Solar Orbiter, SPI=Spitzer, STA=STEREO-A, STB=STEREO-B. On the temporal profile, the light-green (yellow) shading indicates a range of predicted values at latitudinal positions by two (four) deg apart from the spacecraft position.
