2/9 "#Coronal #holes (#CHs) are the source of #high-#speed #streams (#HSSs) in the #solar #wind, whose interaction with the slow solar wind creates #corotating #interaction #regions (#CIRs) in the #heliosphere."
3/9 "Whenever the CIRs hit the #Earth, they can cause #geomagnetic #storms. We develop a method to predict the strength of CIR/HSS-driven geomagnetic storms directly from #solar #observations using the CH areas and associated #magnetic #field #polarity."
It took him a while, but Sri Preston Kulkarni finally blocked me - which is particularly interesting considering I never actually post on his account. 
Sri Preston Kulkarni blocked me after I repeatedly reached out to him, as a journalist, for comment on the prominent role that @hssusa VP Ramesh Bhutada plays in his campaigns. #HSS is int'l wing of India's #RSS. Kulkarni says Bhutada became "like a father to me" on his campaign.
For reference, this is Ramesh Bhutada (top) wearing #HSS/#RSS uniform at an RSS conclave in India in 2010, pictured with his relative & fellow activist Vijay Pallod (bottom right) & former @ofbjp_usa President Ramesh Shah (bottom left). All are Sri Preston Kulkarni donors.
