SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT – Third Remote Sensing of the Inner Heliosphere and Space Weather Applications Workshop

Dear Colleagues.

We need that all the people interested in attending the workshop will let us know ASAP in order to arrange hotel discounts and local workshop facilities – please note the slight change in dates of the workshop to allow for easier travel on to the ISEST-2015 Workshop the following week.

Please can fill you complete the pre-registration form on the web pages before 31 July 2015 if you are intending on taking part in the workshop.

Third Remote Sensing of the Inner Heliosphere and Space Weather Applications Workshop, Morelia, Mexico, 20-24 October 2015.

The workshop’s website is for pre-registration: http://www.sciesmex.unam.mx/workshop2015/
We also have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/remotesensingofinnerheliosphere

Thanks and best wishes,

Mario (On behalf of the SOC and the LOC).

 

“Third Remote Sensing of the Inner Heliosphere and Space Weather Applications Workshop”.

Morelia, Mexico, 20-24 October 2015.

We announce the “Third Remote Sensing of the Inner Heliosphere and Space Weather Applications Workshop” to be hosted by Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) and held in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, 20-24 October 2015. The workshop aims to gather experts from the various fields of remote-sensing observations of the inner heliosphere, including white-light, EUV, and radio observation, together with modellers in order to tackle key outstanding science and space-weather operational issues, establish closer working relations, and devise the best ways to move the field forward as a whole. In addition, the science learned from remote-sensing observations is critical to improving our capabilities of space-weather forecasting. The workshop aims to look at ways in which we can more easily and efficiently share and access the various types of data between individual groups and sub-communities and to officially launch the IPS Common Data Format v1.0 (IPSCDFv1.0) now in use. It also aims to allow investigations into ways in which we model the inner heliosphere looking at the advantages and disadvantages of the available modelling, updates on present and future remote-sensing capabilities, and investigating further the ways in which these data sets all complement each other and are necessary to gain knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical processes that occur within the inner heliosphere. These are critical processes that are key to both Heliophysics science as well as to space-weather operations and forecasting.
