STCE Workshop - Alfven Waves and Turbulence in Solar and Space Plasmas

Thursday May 30, 2013 - Meeting Room at RMI, 9:40 - 15:45

In the framework of the STCE-2013 annual meeting, we organize the workshop on Alfvén waves and turbulence in solar and space plasmas. The workshop aims to review the last year achievements in the field and to coordinate research on waves and turbulence within Space Pole and in collaboration with outside partners. The workshop will comprise two sessions:
  1. Solar Wind Modeling and Turbulence Effects, and
  2. Similarities and Distinctions Between Solar and Magnetospheric Phenomena.
Space Pole scientists will give (20+5)-min talks. We invited two external world-class scientists who will give (30+5) min talk.
