Dear colleagues,

We would like to make a first announcement of the session “Advances in heliospheric science through data exploitation including the HELiospheric Cataloguing, Analysis and Techniques Service (HELCATS)” which will take place at the 2017 EGU meeting (24 – 28 April) in Vienna, Austria. Please consider submitting a contribution (deadline 11 Jan 2017)! We particularly encourage early-career scientists and those interested in the use of virtual observatories and augmented data catalogues to advance heliophysics. Full details follow:

Session ST1.4
Title: Advances in heliospheric science through data exploitation including the HELiospheric Cataloguing, Analysis and Techniques Service (HELCATS)
Conveners: Jonathan Eastwood, Vratislav Krupar, Volker Bothmer, Emilia Kilpua
Link (inc. full session description): http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/24843

Summary: This session solicits contributions describing recent advances in heliospheric science through the exploitation of solar, coronal and heliospheric remote sensing, and solar wind in situ data. In particular we welcome contributions describing for example: the exploitation of observations (remote and/or in situ); combined observations and modelling; theoretical modelling informed by new observations. Technical papers describing previous, ongoing and planned efforts to organise, catalogue and enrich heliophysics datasets are strongly encouraged, as are science papers that have used cataloguing or papers that explore novel data mining approaches.

Please note the deadline for abstract submissions is 11 January 2017!
