Dear colleagues,
We invite abstract submissions to the EGU 2019 session ST1.3 “*Blowing
in the Solar Wind: Understanding Solar Transients and their Heliospheric
Impact*”. The conference will be held on April 7 - 12in Vienna, Austria.

More details and an abstract submission link can be found at

Please keep in mind that the abstract submission deadline is *10 January
2019, 13:00 CET*.

*Session Abstract:*
**The solar wind is an uninterrupted flow of highly ionised plasma that
fills interplanetary space and is crossed by strong transient
perturbations such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These phenomena, in
addition to corotating density structures and solar energetic particles
(SEPs), drive a large range of disturbances to planetary atmospheres.
Their properties and arrival times are, however, difficult to predict
with reasonable accuracy. Observations from multiple vantage points,
in-situ measurements from multiple positions and modelling efforts have
been employed systematically to study the properties of the solar wind
plasma and of CMEs, from their formation to their arrival at Earth and
at planets throughout the inner heliosphere.

The recently launched Parker Solar Probe, the imminent launch of Solar
Orbiter, as well as potential future missions at L1 and L5, and
planetary missions that will measure the solar wind during their cruise
phase (e.g. BepiColombo), will provide us with the perfect opportunity
to test, validate, and refine the current knowledge of these physical
phenomena and their interactions. Accordingly, the aim of this session
is to showcase the latest observational and modelling efforts regarding
the evolution of the solar wind and CMEs during their propagation
throughout the heliosphere as seen from multiple vantage points, and to
foresee future developments. Potential improvements to our current space
weather forecasting capabilities will be highlighted.

Best regards from the conveners,
