AB: We have generated a time dependent 3-dimensional description of the electron density distribution out to 1 AU using the ENLIL model at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). Using this electron density description we have computed the brightness measurements that would be observed by coronagraphic instruments such as SECCHI using the Raytrace package. We compare the computed images with the actual SECCHI observations of streamers/heliospheric current sheet.
