Estimates of magnetic cloud expansion at 1 AU

In this study we analyze 53 magnetic clouds (MCs) of standard profiles observed in WIND magnetic field and plasma data, in order to estimate the speed of MC expansion (<I>V<sub>E</sub></I>) at 1 AU, where the expansion is investigated only for the component perpendicular t...
