Topical Discussion Meeting - Solar Flares, Coronal Mass Ejections and Solar Energetic Particle events: Impacts on the Space Environment

Olga E. Malandraki (SWWT-TWG1 Spokesperson, National Observatory of Athens/IAASARS, Greece); Nicole Vilmer (SWWT-TWG1 Spokesperson, LESIA, Observatoire de Paris); Norma B. Crosby (Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy)
Friday 01/12, 15:00 - 16:15, Permeke

This Discussion Group focuses on the topics covered by the ESA SWWT Topical Working Group 1 (TWG1) sub-group on 'Solar Storms' i.e. the impact of solar flares, Coronal Mass Ejections and Solar Energetic Particle events on the Heliosphere, and Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. We welcome abstracts covering observations, theory and modeling of these solar/heliospheric phenomena, and the usage of scientific results for forecasting purposes (geomagnetic activity, SEP events).
