SH21C:
Preparing for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter: A Coordinated Science from the Corona to the Inner Heliosphere I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 31323

Session Description:
Understanding coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, unveiling the mechanisms of coronal mass ejections and energetic particle acceleration, linking the magnetic field evolution from the solar interior to its consequences in terms of solar variability and space weather are at the core of heliophysics exploration in the next decade with the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. While each mission will achieve its own important science objectives, taken together they will be capable of doing simultaneous and synergized observations to best address these questions. This session focuses on opportunities and capabilities for coordinated science studies with advanced instrumentation on multiple spacecraft, assets at Earth and beyond, and sophisticated modeling of basic plasma physical processes on multiple scales that will be key to understand the dynamics of the solar atmosphere from the base of the corona into the heliosphere, the origins of the solar wind and its evolution from the sun.
