Scientific paper

We use high-resolution numerical simulations to investigate the evolution of small-scale solar wind structures upstream of the Earth. Well-defined hypothetical structures (involving shocks, current sheets, and magnetic flux ropes) are introduced at the sunward boundary of the computational region. These structures are specified with different levels of spatial approximation; i.e., varying numbers of points are assumed to provide data that are used to reconstruct all boundary values required to drive numerical computations. Comparison of numerical results obtained at Earth enables us to evaluate how many monitors in the solar wind might be needed for reliable space weather applications.
