Abstract deadline COSPAR session Sun-Heliosphere Connection Events

COSPAR D2.4/E3.4 Session: Sun-Heliosphere Connection Events: Origin, Propagation, Impact and Prediction. Sydney, Australia, 15 – 22 August 2020

Dear all,

Please note the abstract submission deadline for the COSPAR D2.4/E3.4 session on February 14th 2020. Details of the session can be found below:

The study of solar transients (CMEs-ICMEs, flares, shocks, SEPs, SIRs/CIRs) and how they impact on the Earth and other planets have made significant progress in the last decade, thanks to a suite of heliospheric spacecraft observations and high performance numerical  MHD simulations and modeling. These advances enable to study the global evolution of CMEs and CIRs starting from the solar surface into interplanetary space and to planets. Data-driven 3D numerical simulation of solar transients has become a powerful tool for improving our understanding in the physical processes that can be used for event prediction. In this session we invite contributions based on models and/or observations of solar transients, covering the initiation of CMEs and flares, CME driven-shock formation, CME propagation in the heliosphere, interaction with the solar wind, the link between CMEs and SEPs, prediction of their characteristics (Bs, hit/miss, arrival times, impact speed, etc.) on Earth and other planets. This session particularly focuses on events and studies that address geo-effectiveness. Details can be found at  https://www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/session_cospar.php?session=878 .

The abstract submission deadline is Feb. 14, 2020.
