CEDAR email: AGU Session on Using Solar Cycle 25 as a Test of Solar Activity Predictions

[Pesnell, W Dean (GSFC-6710)]

On behalf of this session's organizers (Dean Pesnell, Lisa Upton, Andres Munoz-Jaramillo, James McAteer and KD Leka):

AGU Fall Meeting Session "Using Solar Cycle 25 as a Test of Solar Activity Predictions" is Open for Abstracts

Please consider submitting an abstract to the eLightning session "Using Solar Cycle 25 as a Test of Solar Activity Predictions" at the upcoming Fall 2020 Meeting. You will have the opportunity to present your paper as a 3-minute live poster presentation, with both a session-wide discussion/Q&A session and individual break-out options available.

We are looking for papers that meet this description: Solar activity predictions must be tailored to the scales of solar activity.  Predictions of flares and CMEs must anticipate responses at short timescales, typically less than 1-2 days. Predictions of the next rotation benefit from data at longitudes not visible from the Sun-Earth line. Models of meridional circulation, constrained by helioseismic data, are essential at understanding the changes at annual and longer time scales. The longest-term predictions are those of the next solar cycle. At each time scale the relevant information is how the solar magnetic field is manipulated by the velocities inside the Sun. Some of these predictions can benefit from precursor and time series analyses. Others provide an opportunity to explore the detailed evolution of the solar magnetic field.  Much progress has been made in applying machine learning techniques to this topic, but research from a broad range of approaches is welcome.  Papers are solicited that explore the data and techniques needed for timely forecasts at all timescales.

The deadline for submissions is 23:59 ET, Wednesday, July 29, 2020
