SM23A:
Imaging and Analysis of Dayside Transients and Dynamics II


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60873

Session Description:
Recent years have seen a host of novel imaging techniques employed to define the state and dynamics of the global solar wind-magnetosphere interaction, and their ability to validate the predictions of global simulations for the solar wind interaction with various obstacles within the heliosphere including Venus, Mars, comets, and the Earth.  This session is devoted to reviewing the information that can be learned from past, present, and potential future heliophysics, planetary, and astrophysics missions, using global numerical simulations to define the expected images, and describing future imaging techniques. It will also cover analysis of some transient dayside processes that contribute to the energy and mass transfer to the magnetosphere.  Presentations describing results from previous/current missions, simulations, techniques and ideas for future missions are welcome.
