Imaging the Global Dynamics of the Solar Wind Interaction

Session ID#: 81925

Session Description:
Recent years have seen a host of novel imaging techniques employed to define the state of the global solar wind-magnetosphere interaction.  These techniques are crucial to validate the predictions of global simulations for the solar wind’s interaction not only with the Earth's magnetosphere but with various other obstacles within the heliosphere including Venus, Mars, and comets.   At Earth for example, using some of these techniques we could define the motion and structure of the magnetopause and cusp and hence understand the global characteristics of the magnetic reconnection process.   This session is devoted to reviewing the information that can be learned from past and present heliophysics, planetary, and astrophysics missions, using global numerical simulations to define the expected images, and describing future imaging techniques. Presentations describing results from previous/current missions, simulations, techniques and ideas for future missions are welcome.
