Modeled (red lines) and observed (blue lines) time profiles of solar wind parameters at 1.0 au through all of 2007. From the top to the bottom, the panels show the speed Vr, number density N, temperature T, and total magnetic field strength B (From Shen et al. 2018b). Besides the improvement in the treatment of the inner boundary condition, there have been significant improvements in other aspects of background solar wind simulations in recent years. Some of these are detailed below
