Session ID#: 13114

Session Description:
The lack of measurements of magnetic fields on the far side of the Sun is a serious limitation in predicting space weather events and in understanding the evolution of solar magnetic fields.  Various techniques are now being used to predict the surface magnetic fields on the far side. EUV imaging from STEREO/SECCHI has been coupled with surface magnetic flux transport models to predict far-side magnetic fields; efforts are underway to validate these predictions with in situ solar wind observations.  Helioseismology is being used to predict active regions on the Sun’s far side using only Earth-side data; STEREO/SECCHI images of the far side, as well as Earth-side data, are being used to calibrate and validate the predictions. We solicit contributions relating to predicting far-side magnetic fields by observations or modeling or both. Contributions demonstrating the importance of more accurate synoptic magnetograms for coronal and heliospheric space weather modeling are also welcomed.
