IAGA symposium A29 Wave and Turbulence in the Solar Atmosphere and Solar Wind (Div. IV)

Convener: Valery Nakariakov (Warwick, U.K.)
Co-conveners: Bo Li (Weihai, China), Gang Li (Huntsville, USA)

Description: Waves and turbulence in the solar corona and solar wind are a critical topic on both theoretical and observational grounds. Remote-sensing observations have recently revealed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar corona. Meanwhile, sophisticated numerical MHD simulations become available that shed light on how these waves are generated and dissipated, as well as the possible role of kinetic effects. Solar wind turbulence in interplanetary space remains a hot topic, with remarkable observational and theoretical progresses in terms of wave-vector anisotropy, nature of turbulence at kinetic scales, intermittent heating, and so on. Solar wind models are also improved to incorporate important effects of wave and turbulence. In this symposium, we solicit contributions on both the observational analysis and theoretical modelling of waves and turbulence in the solar corona and wind. We look forward to get a comprehensive overview of what we have known about waves and turbulence in this context, and discuss recent results and anticipated future breakthroughs.

The abstract submission deadline is on January 31, 2015.

The registration early bird fee deadline is on April 10, 2015 and the standard fee deadline on June 15, 2015.
