Hi,

 Nicky's session is very relevant to the current science being done by the loops community.

 If you have thoughts on the hardware, modeling or infrastructure innovations needed to move from 1-d coronal studies to 3-D photosphere-solar wind analysis (as an example). Integration of new observations (maybe high resolution mirco-calorimeters) with new laboratory results (plasma and atomic physics) might be another example.
Please consider sharing those thoughts in the session:

SA011: Solar and Space Physics Science and the Need for Innovation Into the Next Decade
"The solar and space physics community has recently completed its Decadal Survey to identify the most important scientific questions to be addressed during the next decade and beyond. Innovations in instrumentation, flight systems, and information technology will be required to address these questions. This session focuses on the present-day science that informs the innovation process toward this goal. Especially encouraged are contributions that show how their science results could be enhanced through enabling innovations."

Best wishes,

Dear Coronal Loop Enthusiasts,

 

 We are organizing a session at this Fall’s AGU: ‘Recent Advances in Solar Coronal Heating’ and particularly welcome and encourage participation from the loops community. Please consider submitting an abstract to our session!

 

Details for the meeting can be found at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/. The abstract deadline is approaching fast! They are due 08 August at 23:59 EDT.

 

Session Description: Solving the solar coronal heating problem is of critical importance for space weather and understanding the Sun-Earth environment. This session emphasizes understanding the underlying physical process that heats the corona through the integration of macro and micro modeling, constrained by observations. Advances in theory and modeling as well as a host of new observational data provide an excellent opportunity for bridging the gap and providing feedback between these different methods. We solicit a broad variety of approaches including global models of the solar corona, kinetic models and theories of the energy dissipation and local heating mechanisms, as well as observations to test and compare with models.

 

Best Regards,
