1. SCOSTEP’s 13th Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics Symposium (STP 13)
October 12 – 18, 2014 Titan Times Hotel, Xi’An, Shanxi, China
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Nat Gopalswamy <nat.gopalswamy at nasa.gov>

The STP13 scientific sessions consist of tutorial lectures/keynotes in the
mornings and focused presentations (invited talks, contributed papers) in the
afternoons. Original research papers are solicited on topics related to Sun-
Earth connection. Papers involving the origin and consequences of the current
weak solar activity are encouraged. Abstracts can be submitted under the
following categories:

1. Mass Chain
a. Origin, evolutions, and Earth impact of coronal mass ejections
b. Origin, evolution, and Earth impact of high speed streams
c. Origin, evolution, and Earth impact of energetic particles from solar,
magnetospheric and galactic sources

2. Electromagnetic Chain
a. Long-term solar variability (magnetism, total irradiance, and spectral
irradiance) and its impact on geospace and Earth
b. Origin of solar flares and their impact on Earth’s ionosphere/atmosphere
c. Coronal and Interplanetary and Terrestrial radio bursts

3. Intra-Atmospheric Chain
a. Geospace response to variability of the lower atmosphere
b. Trends in the entire atmosphere, including anthropogenic aspects
c. Regional, hemispheric and inter-hemispheric couplings and transport in the
atmosphere

4. Workshop on Sun-to-Earth MiniMax24 Events
