Fall AGU 2011 SH/SM Session: Storms and the 3-D Solar Wind During the Rise to Solar Maximum (SH20).

Fall AGU 2011 SH/SM Session: Storms and the 3-D Solar Wind During the Rise to Solar Maximum (SH20).
5-9 December 2011, San Francisco, California, USA.

Dear Colleagues.

We would like to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Fall AGU 2011 Session SH20 (joint with SM): “Storms and the 3-D Solar Wind During the Rise to Solar Maximum” (http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/771) and submit an abstract via the AGU website (http://agu-fm11.abstractcentral.com/) by the abstract-submission deadline of 04 August 2011.

Session Description: Solar wind (SW) transients, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), interaction regions, and interplanetary (IP) shocks are 3-D features of IP space that are responsible for space-weather effects experienced within planetary magnetospheres. Understanding the 3-D spatial and temporal SW structure thus enables a better understanding of storm processes at different planets, and can also improve predictions. Changes in SW plasma and magnetic-field conditions provide opportunities to study the complex structure of the SW itself, and consequent effects within the heliosphere. We invite contributions related to 3-D SW structure and the consequences of changing SW conditions in the rise phase of the current solar cycle and approach towards solar maximum.

Confirmed invited speakers are:
Janet G. Luhmann (University of California, Berkeley – USA)
Peter Gallagher (Trinity College, Dublin – Ireland)
Masaki Nishino (JAXA – Japan)
