Description
The 2024 total solar eclipse over North America provided a multi-perspective view of the Sun and solar wind through combined ground (DKIST, Mauna Loa Solar Observatory UCoMP and K-Cor) and space (Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, LASCO/C2, Hinode/EIS) -based remote and in situ observations. Through a multi-mission coordinated effort, we examine near-contemporaneous and multi-wavelength observations of the corona to derive detailed plasma conditions and magnetic field properties used to compute an energy budget of an equatorial coronal hole. The remote properties of nascent coronal hole wind are connected to its heliospheric counterpart sampled by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter during a fortuitous spacecraft alignment. Together, the Alfvén wave, enthalpy, kinetic, and gravitational energy fluxes of a single high speed solar wind stream can be traced from deep in the corona (subsonic regime), across the Alfvén surface to its super-Alfvénic state, providing critical constraints to the mass and energy flow in the atmosphere of our star.
