Mini-ISWAT Virtual Meeting Series:                      logo

H1-H2 CME Propagation Through Ambient Solar Wind

24-25 June 2021, 3PM - 5PM CEST (1PM - 3PM UT)

Organizers: M. Temmer, M. M. Bisi, C. Scolini

The Mini-Workshop will bring together the teams from cluster H1+H2 to discuss the current status of projects and future perspectives. Everybody - team member or interested follower - is welcome to join! With that we aim to prepare for the upcoming iSWAT meeting (September 2021) and the cluster-focused review paper (deadline April 2022). Don't miss that! 

Team leads who have confirmed their attendance:
Leila Mays, Christine Verbeke, Richard Fallows, Christina Kay, Karin Muglach (Day 2 only)
Team-leads: throughout May - engage with your team and prepare for the mini workshop!

Motivation

The ISWAT clusters H1+2 have focus on interplanetary space and its characteristics. Solar wind structures stemming from the interrelation between large scale open and closed coronal magnetic fields generate periodically recurring regions of compressed plasma and magnetic field followed by high-speed streams. Short-term reconfiguration of the lower coronal magnetic field generates flare emission and provides energy to accelerate enormous amounts of magnetized plasma and particles into interplanetary space. The dynamic interplay between these phenomena changes interplanetary space on various temporal and spatial scales and has effects on the propagation behavior of individual events. Modelling efforts showed that the available observational input is affected by rather large uncertainties, making reliable forecasts difficult. Moreover, the complexity of interplanetary space certainly increases with enhanced solar activity that models cannot cover. Only by joining forces we gain more knowledge about the relation between the different phenomena, underlying physical processes to improve models and to provide better Space Weather forecasting.

Discussion topics
  • Solar wind structures (data and models)
  • CME propagation (data and models)
  • Interaction phenomena (solar wind structures - CME, CME-CME)
  • Variability of space environment (preconditioning)
  • Forecast (status and improvement)
  • Geospace energy input (impact of HSSs/SIRs/CIRs and transient events)
