Abstract. A correlation between solar wind speed at Earth and the amount of magnetic field line expansion in the corona was verified in 1989 using 22 years of solar and interplanetary observations. We trace the evolution of this relationship from its birth 15 years earlier in the Skylab era to its current use as a space weather forecasting technique. This paper is the transcript of an invited talk at the joint session of the Historical Astronomy Division and the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society during its 224th meeting in Boston, MA, on 3 June 2014.

摘要。1989年使用22年的太阳和行星际观测结果，证实了地球太阳风速与日冕中磁力线膨胀量之间的相关性。我们追溯了这种关系的演变，从它在Skylab时代15年前的诞生到现在作为空间天气预报技术的应用。本文是2014年6月3日在美国马萨诸塞州波士顿市举行的第224次会议上，美国天文学会历史天文学部和太阳物理学部联席会议上邀请演讲的笔录。
