ISTP/IACG LOGO   ISTP/IACG Special Workshop on:

Global Picture of Solar Eruptive Events

  • Date: April 27-30, (Tuesday-Friday), 1999

  • Location: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD

  • Announcement:

    After the launch of Yohkoh, Wind, ACE, and SOHO, a large number of solar eruptive events were observed, some of which are designated ISTP Sun-Earth connection events. A few of these events have been analyzed but there has not been a systematic or comprehensive study of all these events. It is now time to develop a "generic picture" of solar eruptive events from the time they originate from the Sun to the time they reach 1 AU and perhaps beyond. Obtaining a global perspective of these events is one of the primary objectives of this workshop and is very relevant to the current efforts in understanding Sun-Earth connections. To support the analysis of 28 eruptive events which occurred from April 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998 a data intensive workshop, sponsored by the ISTP and IACG, will be held at Goddard Space Flight Center on April 27-30, 1999. This workshop will be in the style of the old Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops or CDAWs and will make heavy use of online and distributed data sets. Relative to these eruptive events, the 5 major science themes that will be addressed are:

    1. Near-surface manifestations
    2. Coronal Dimming and Arcade Formation
    3. Magnetic Field Changes
    4. Sources of Energetic Particles
    5. CMEs and Magnetic Clouds

    The primary data used for this workshop are archived at the Solar Data Analysis Center and the CDAWeb system. Workshop participants are encouraged to submit relevant data. The 28 events were chosen from the list of Wind/WAVES type II bursts in the newly established spectral domain of 1-14 MHz ( http://lep694.gsfc.nasa.gov/waves/waves.html). It is expected that the science results will be published in an upcoming issue of Geophysics Research Letters.

    Note that attendance to this workshop will be limited to about 45 scientists. Check this WWW page for online registration and procedures for the submission and use of data.

    (This workshop follows the Spring ISTP Workshop: Global Geospace Science Workshop, March 30-April 1, 1999, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center)
