Scientific Topics:
SIPWork’s goal is to encourage communication between different communities (solar and space scientists, statisticians, and data processing experts) in order to address the data analysis issues of solar missions. Two experts -one from the solar physics and one from the data processing community- will be jointly addressing topics of interest. We encourage people to submit abstracts related to the topics listed below. More details are available athttp://www.stce.be/sipworkshop2014/.
Session 1: Power laws in solar physics: observations and proper estimation
Invited Speakers:
Prof Clare Parnell (U. St Andrews) Power laws in solar physics
Prof. David Van Dyk (Imperial College): Bayesian paradigm for statistical inference of power laws
Session 2: Optimal combination of in-situ and imaging data: How do we combine the information given by heterogenous data sets such as the one given by Solar Orbiter?
Invited Speakers:
Dr Christian Möstl (University of Graz): Combining HI and in situ observations to constrain CME evolution
Dr Tim Howard (SWRI): Tracking of CMEs and ICMEs through the heliosphere
Session 3: How well can we predict solar eruptions (flares, CME arrival, SEP arrival) and geomagnetic disturbances?
Invited Speakers:
Dr Graham Barnes (NWRA): Physics behind flare prediction and current methods for flare forecasting
Prof. Pierre Dupont (U. catholique de Louvain): Machine learning in flare forecasting
Session 4: Tracking of small scale magnetic features and its applications : What is the “best” way to track small scale features on the Sun, and how can we use this information to distinguish between different solar dynamo models?
Invited Speaker:
Dr Thomas Corpetti (U. Rennes) : Recent methods in tracking of small scale features
Session 5: Origin of variability and prediction of solar wind: How can we predict solar wind conditions at Earth? What other data and analysis techniques do we need to better understand the solar wind?
Invited Speakers:
Prof. William Matthaeus (U. Delaware): Solar wind turbulence and the future missions Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus
Dr Khurom Kiyani (U. Warwick): Analysing techniques in solar wind turbulence
