ICTP-SCOSTEP-ISWI School and Workshop on the Predictability of the Solar-Terrestrial Coupling - PRESTO

Description

Workshop LINK

PRESTO (PREdictability of the variable Solar-Terrestrial cOupling) is an international science program that seeks to improve the predictability of energy flow in the integrated Sun-Earth system on various times scales from milliseconds to centuries by promoting international collaborative efforts.

PRESTO is the primary science program of SCOSTEP, the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics. This workshop will aim to gather eminent scientists from solar, magnetospheric, ionospheric and atmospheric physics communities to discuss and deliberate on the cutting-edge sciences related to the PRESTO program.

The workshop will follow a one-day school which will provide students and early-career scientists with an introductory review on the topics that will be discussed during the PRESTO workshop. The space science schools are a capacity building activity of the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) and SCOSTEP.

Topics:

Observations and modelling of solar eruptions, solar wind and SEPs from Sun through interplanetary space
Prediction of solar transients, streams/SIRs and SEP from Sun to geospace
Effect of space weather on the Earth's ionosphere, thermosphere, and magnetosphere
Influence of the lower atmosphere on the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere
Solar forcing specification and impacts on the atmosphere and climate
Precipitating energetic particles and their effects on atmosphere
Predictability of the solar cycle
