Scientific paper

An MHD model of a polar coronal hole based on white light coronagraph observations is used to make predictions of plasma observations in the spacecraft frame along the spacecraft trajectory for the Solar Probe Mission. This study will identify the design requirements for in situ plasma instrumentation with regard to field-of-view issues, energy coverage, instrument geometric factors and mass separation requirements. The instrument design must consider the need to accurately observe MHD wave motions in the plasma and electron heat flux both of which are thought to play an important role with regard to the coronal expansion. These requirements emphasize the need for 3-D plasma measurements and the requirement for nadir viewing.
