  "textContent": "This illustration compares different ways of setting up solar wind forecast models. The upper panels show established approaches based on solar magnetic maps, in situ measurements, or a combination of both. The lower panel highlights the new method developed in this study, which traces solar wind measurements near Earth back towards the Sun to define model starting conditions. Credit:  Owens et al.
