摘要
We estimate axial lengths of helical parts in magnetic clouds (MCs) at 1 AU from the magnetic flux (magnetic helicity) conservation between solar active regions (ARs) and MCs with the event list of Leamon et al. Namely, considering poloidal magnetic flux (Phi(P)) conservation between MCs and ARs, we estimated L-h in MCs, where L-h is the axial length of an MC where poloidal magnetic flux and magnetic twist exist. It is found that L-h is 0.01-1.25 AU in the MCs. If the cylinder flux rope picture is assumed, this result leads to a possible new picture of the cylinder model whose helical structure (namely, poloidal magnetic flux) localizes in a part of a MC.
