The figure below shows measurements of the solar wind magnetic field at 1 AU over a 24 hour period. Themeasurements are in GSM coordinates and include the vector components of the field as well as the correspondingangles (θ is the polar angle, which correspond to Bz, and φ is the azimuthal angle). Based on the figure, briefly describewhat event occurred between 13 and 14 UT.
What is 2A(B-3C)? What is AxA+BxB+CxC?
