Tutorial: Space Weather Bites
Space Weather, it seems trivial: the science behind it and its applications. But it isn't. Space Weather is a complex phonomenon involving many areas. Even if you are into the subject, you can come to new insights of the basics.
The tutorial will be given on the first day of the meeting. This will be geared towards students, young scientists/engineers and people new to the field, but all are welcome to attend.
This year we will adapt a new format: a small introduction, a series of short workshop, Q&A with a panel of the workshop conveners.
The 5 workshops are:
| Worst Case Scenario - GICs | Alan Thompson |
| Helioviewer | Daniel Mueller |
| Modelling and Validity of Models | Stefaan Poedts |
| This workshop will contain a presentation of the different mathematical models used for describing plasma dynamics, viz. the single particle model, the kinetic theory and the fluid or continuum description. The assumptions and thus eligibility of each of these models will be discussed and the application of the models will be illustrated by a few examples. | |
| Space Weather: concrete | Christophe Marqué |
