Cover. In Shiota et al . doi: 10.1002/2013SW000989 , (a) 3D view of coordinates in simulation. Background colors on the transparent XY plane (the solar equatorial plane) show solar wind velocity distribution. Positions of planets andtheir orbits on Oct. 26 (day 300) of 2008 are shown as colored spheres and tubes. Among them, clear ones are located above (north of) the transparent plane. Color on central sphere shows 2D distribution of magnetic field radial components. Its color bar is shown in the panel (b). (b) 3D view of sector boundary of interplanetary magnetic field (white surface). In the area north of the boundary, the IMF is directed toward the Sun (Br < 0). (c) 3D views of sector boundary and solar wind on ecliptic plane (transparent plane). See pp. 187–204.
