[Loops] 26 IUGG General Assembly

[Gregory D. Fleishman]

Hi Jim,

let me remind that the deadline for abstract submission for 26 IUGG
General Assembly is approaching, Jan 31.

There will be a few solar workshops dedicated to Quiet Sun and Active Regions
(A32), solar flares (A30), and turbulence (A29).

The announcement for A32 is appended below.

Best regards,

  Gregory

IUGG 2015 assembly; Prague, Czech Republic, from the 22nd of June to the 2nd of July 2015: A32 Studies of the Quiet Sun and Active Regions


26th General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and
Geophysics (IUGG) www.iugg2015prague.com/ is approaching with the
following deadlines: January 15, 2015 Grant applications CLOSE January
31, 2015 Abstract submission DEADLINE March 31, 2015 Notification to
successful grantees There will be a number of Solar Physics (Div. IV)
Symposia www.iugg2015prague.com/iaga-symposia.htm including the first
time organized Symposium dedicated to the Quiet Sun and Active Regions
(A32, see its announcement below). Given a series of new space and
ground based observing instruments, it is timely to deeply discuss the
present status and state-of-the-art of the observational, theoretical,
and modeling studies in this area. Therefore, the organizers encourage
all interested researches to take part in Symposium A32 and take
advantage from having many other related symposia happening just next
door within this same IUGG 2015 assembly
www.iugg2015prague.com/scientific-program.htm Looking forward to
seeing you in Prague. See the symposium manifesto below.

A32 Studies of the Quiet Sun and Active Regions (Div. IV) Recent years
have brought a significant progress in understanding of the structure
and dynamics of the quiet Sun and active regions (QSAR) down to very
small scales both observationally and through state-of-the-art 3D MHD
simulations. These studies confirm that QSAR are not steady, but
rather very dynamic with a large number of physical processes
involved. In particular, it has become clear that the individual solar
layers are strongly coupled with each other and must be considered
consistently, i.e. as an entity. Thus, the goal of this session is to
bring together researches from various sub-areas of QSAR studies to
envision a bigger synthetic picture of the QSAR. The emphasis of the
session will be given to new multi-wavelength observations in
decimeter, microwave, millimeter, sub-millimeter, infrared, optical,
UV and X-ray bands from already available instrument (e.g., SDO, IRIS,
NST, ALMA, LOFAR, EVLA) as well as microwave facilities, which are
under construction/expansion now (e.g., EOVSA, mSSRT) on one hand and
to state-of-the-art simulations and modeling (MHD, NLFFF, thermal
structure, radiative transfer, and synthetic diagnostics) on the other
hand. The different instruments/wavelengths probe different
quantities/physical regimes/layers in the solar atmosphere, which
makes the multi-wavelength approach so important for trying to
understand the COUPLED atmospheric layers. We anticipate intensive
interaction between the observational and modeling components of the
session both aimed towards a better and comprehensive understanding of
the QSAR physics and also towards the development and improvement of
diagnostics of the corresponding magnetic and thermal structures using
the available observational tools. Overall, the session aims to bring
together the diverse solar community to discuss the latest
observations, modeling and theoretical developments in the QSAR area
of solar physics. In addition, the connection of the observational
results with the modeling and theoretical developments in this area
will be discussed.
