Splinter - Coupled Space Weather Modelling
G. Lapentan (CPA) and A. Aylward (UCL)
Thursday, Nov 7, 14:00-16:00
Modeling of space weather is the necessary next step to achieve the ability to predict space weather events using models that are based on physics and on observational data. The same path was followed in regular weather where the reliance on computer models has been a reality for many years now. Space is following the same path. With similar challenges (and there communication across the communities can be a great asset) and with new ones. We focus here especially on the challenges of coupling multiple processes developing with different physics and described by different models often implemented in different codes developed by different groups in different countries using a variety of computer systems and computational languages. We hope to bring together at this splinter meeting researchers involved in different projects funded by the EC, by ESA and by other national and international agencies. Especially prominent will be the Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centern VSWMC funded by ESA and the suite of FP7 funded space weather projects (Soteria, eHeroes, Swiff, Spacecast, SEPServere, Atmop, Plasmon, Hespe and others). Researchers from other countries will also be invited to provide expertise form similar efforts outside Europe.
