Short summary
Our research examines solar wind interactions with magnetic structures from the Sun. Observations at different longitudes near the ecliptic plane show the progression of interactions between a co-rotating interaction region and a magnetic-cloud-like structure. These interactions cause significant changes, including compression and wave formation, enhancing our understanding of the complex nature of solar wind impacting Earth's magnetic environment.
