Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007437

A region on the Sun's corona that is the source of high-speed solar wind streams, characterized by open magnetic field lines. These regions are often associated with coronal holes and can cause recurrent geomagnetic storms on Earth. They were initially identified by their influence on geomagnetic activity.
