Dear Colleagues.
We would like to ask you to submit a contributed abstract of your work applicable to our session “Radio Heliophysics for Space Weather Applications” at the upcoming 2016 4th Asia Oceania Space Weather Alliance (AOSWA) Workshop, 24-27 October 2016, in Jeju, Republic of Korea (South Korea). Our session description can be found below.
Please submit your abstract here: http://aoswa4.spaceweather.org/le_register.php?me_code=2020 ASAP; please note that the abstract-submission deadline has been informally extended to 15th August 2016 (Korean time).
When the abstracts are in – the organisers will group the non-invited submissions with the invited submissoins to form the sessions and put a coherent programme together – this will then be reflected online; currently, none of the sessions are advertised online. The AOSWA meeting in Japan in March 2015 (http://www2.nict.go.jp/aeri/swe/aoswa/workshop_3/program/index.html) is a good example of how the sessions may turn out in terms of the programmatic layout. This year, AOSWA are strongly encouraging international engagement at the workshop and hence the scope of our session.
The main AOSWA website can be found here: http://aoswa4.spaceweather.org/ where further information will appear in due course.
Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you on Jeju in October,
Mario (and Bernie).
Radio Heliophysics for Space Weather Applications – a special session at the 4th AOSWA in South Korea, 24-27 October 2016.
Observations of radio for heliophysics in general have been used for many years – for well over a half century. Radio arrays/telescopes/spacecraft instrumentation and analyses tools have been developed and used in more-recent times for space-weather applications as well as space weather science over the last two decades or more. Such radio techniques include the monitoring of the Sun, the tracking of solar radio bursts (due to interplanetary shock propagation), interplanetary scintillation (IPS) for monitoring the velocity and density of outflow across the inner heliosphere, and most recently the adoption/trialling of Faraday rotation (FR) for space-weather purposes, to name but a few. This session aims in highlighting all manner of ground-based and space-based radio observations and modelling in heliophysics as applied to space weather, as well as those techniques under development for space-weather purposes with the advent of new/differing techniques now able to be undertaken with advanced/novel radio instrumentation which one day may be able to be used in space-weather applications and not just for space-weather and radio heliophysics advancements.
