2. AGU Sessions
1. SH034: Waves, Instabilities, and Turbulence in Magnetized Plasma Structures
2018 AGU Fall Meeting (https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/), Washington, D.C, 10-14 Dec 2018
Abstract submission deadline: Wednesday, 1 August 2018, 23:59 EDT

Description of session (ID 50320):
Excitation of plasma waves, instabilities, and turbulence have been manifested in remote and in-situ space observations on a wide range of spatio-temporal scales. A few examples of these phenomena include Alfven and kink waves in chromospheric and coronal structures, acoustic modes in photosphere and convection zone, turbulence and kinetic waves in the solar wind. Laboratory experiments have made vital contributions in developing models that can accurately predict propagation and damping of plasma waves and instabilities. Improvements and validation of theoretical/numerical models for solar plasma can help us fully utilize diagnostic capabilities of these waves and understand their role in energy transport. This session invites participation of space observers, modelers, and plasma physicists working in this broad area of research. Contributions based on recent (SDO, Hinode, IRIS, WIND, ACE, Helios, Cluster, and MMS) and planning for next generation observational facilities (DKIST, EST, Solar-Orbiter, and Parker Solar Probe) are especially welcome.

Primary Section/Focus Group:
SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics

2.  Abstracts are invited to the session SH014, "Origin of Neutrals and Singly Ionized Atoms in the Corona and Interplanetary space" at the AGU Fall Meeting, Washington D.C., 10 - 14 December 2018.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, 1 August 23:59 EDT. Please note that AGU will not accept any late abstracts.

Session ID: 44536
Session Description:
Recent spectroscopic observations acquired during the total solar eclipses of 2015 and 2017 revealed the presence of filamentary hot coronal material with cool inclusions of neutral (He, H, Fe, Mg) and singly and doubly ionized atoms, most likely associated with CME fronts, streaming away at several 100?s to over 1000 km/s. A handful of cases of distinct bright inclusions of prominence material within the filamentary features of a CME front have also been reported in LASCO/C2, C3 and STEREO observations. In-situ measurements of low ionization states of different species at the few percent level within CMEs, have been attributed to prominence material. Observations of low ionized atoms from SOHO/UVCS observations, were attributed to interstellar neutral atoms, or even to neutrals produced by plasma-dust interaction. This session invites contributions from observers and modelers, to explore the possible sources of neutrals and low-ionization plasmas in the corona and interplanetary space.

We welcome contributions on the current state of our empirical and theoretical knowledge regarding the presence and origin of neutrals and low-charge ions from the inner corona to the solar wind, with an emphasis on the upcoming Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions, and ground-based facilities such as DKIST.

3. Subject:  AGU Session: Near Real-Time/Low Latency Data for Earth Science and Space Weather Applications

Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following Earth and Space Science Informatics session at the 2018 Fall AGU Meeting, 10-14 December 2018 in Washington DC.

SessionID: 46340
SessionTitle: IN050 Near Real-Time/Low Latency Data for Earth Science and Space Weather Applications
Section: Earth and Space Science Informatics
Session Viewer Link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/46340
Conveners: Michael Goodman/NASA MSFC, Gerald Bawden/NASA HQ, Diane Davies/Trigg-Davies Consulting/SSAI/NASA GSFC, and Brad Zavodsky/NASA MSFC
Live Stream: Yes

Session Description: Near real-time and low latency data from satellite, airborne (including UAVs), and surface sensors are transforming existing end-user applications and spawning new ones.  These applications demonstrate the utility of timely data in diverse Earth and space science disciplines including weather prediction, river forecasting, natural and human-caused hazards, public health, agriculture, marine, early warning and space weather applications.  In addition to traditional computer analyses, the use of apps for smartphones and tablets presents an opportunity to improve and expand the timely usage of data products and services.  This session seeks contributions that demonstrate the benefit of near real-time / low latency scientific or social media data, and identify gaps in current capabilities.

We held this session last year (2017) and it was one of the more popular sessions with the Earth Science Informatics (IN) track and we anticipate it to be as popular this year.  This session is cross listed in Natural Hazards, Space Physics and Aeronomy/Solar and Heliophysics (SH) and Hydrology (H).  We expect considerable and diverse interest in the topic and we are looking forward to an enjoyable and informative session.

We encourage you to contribute to our discussion on near real-time and low latency data for Earth science and space weather applications

4. AGU session SH-011: Magnetic Fields in the Solar Corona: Observations and Modelling

Session ID: 52784
Session Description:
The coronal magnetic field is the source of many of the fascinating phenomena studied in heliophysics, but its high temperature, low density, the large range of spatial scales of interest, and its highly dynamic nature make it quite difficult to measure.? This paucity of measurements makes it difficult to evaluate the accuracy of coronal models.? Efforts to measure, model, and predict the coronal magnetic field will be critical to understanding the evolution of plasma in the inner heliosphere in the era of the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter.? We invite submissions that describe recent efforts to characterize the coronal magnetic field through either models or observation, with a particular interest in works that use one to enhance or understand the other.? We also invite submissions that describe the additional data and/or projects needed to advance this topic.

Conveners: Shaela I. Jones, Nishu Karna, and Derek A. Lamb

We are pleased to invite contributions to the following AGU session:

SM017: Quantifying Uncertainty in Space Weather Modeling and Forecasting
Dynamic solar outputs including flares, high-speed solar wind, and coronal mass ejections, drive responses in geospace that can have deleterious effects on technological systems. Further, upward propagation of atmospheric waves and tides produces natural variability in Earth's ionosphere and thermosphere. Many types of models are used to forecast, nowcast, or hindcast, space weather relevant quantities, but the uncertainty of these predictions is often not quantified or reported. Simulations of varying complexity are key to our understanding of the physics that drives space weather, and any simulation or forecast has uncertainty which can arise from a number of sources. These sources include uncertainties in the initial condition, uncertainties in input data, and approximations made in the construction of the model. The goal of this session is to showcase new research in ensemble modeling, probabilistic forecasting, model sensitivity studies, and other approaches to improve uncertainty quantification in space weather modeling and forecasting.

7. Please consider submitting an abstract for the AGU session “Impacts of Space weather from the Sun and Active Stars on Atmospheric Evolution of Terrestrial (Exo)Planets” by August 1, 2018.



Session Description:
Recent explosion of the discovered terrestrial exoplanets around active G-M dwarfs raises a fundamental question about how to detect habitable worlds. Recently detected superflares on late-type stars and associated space weather in the form of XUV emission, coronal mass ejection and solar energetic particle events can cause atmospheric erosion and chemical changes. These factors may present significant challenges for surface habitability. The proposed session invites theoretical, observational and laboratory studies that shed light on factors of atmospheric ion and neutral escape from the current and early Earth, Mars and exoplanetary atmospheres including chemical changes due to various factors of space weather.



Primary Convener: Vladimir Airapetian; Co-Conveners: Shannon Curry, Glyn Collinson

Session ID#: 49222



Session Description:
We still find that society is ever-more reliant on technologies/energy supplies susceptible to interruption/damage from space weather (SW) (communications/transport, GNSS-positioning/timing, power, etc.). As a result, several new infrastructures, missions, and models are being developed to improve forecasting capabilities, our understanding of the impacts, and to engineer in better mitigation solutions.



This is fourth incarnation of the session (since 2015) where the focus now specifically turns to new ideas about future space-/ground-based SW architectures. Multiple ongoing international studies are scoping the options for sustained/improved SW observations. New observing locations (e.g. L5) as well as advanced concepts based on small satellites and splitting larger missions into smaller sub-elements (fractionation) are being considered in these studies.



We solicit contributions of: ideas/discussions regarding sustainable SW observations/architectures; how small satellites can be used to supplement SW architectures; whether GOES-SWFO-L5 provides the needed observations/sustainability; and what new technologies challenge the past ways of undertaking SW research/operations.
