Frontier Discovery from the Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions (WHPI) Initiative
Session ID#: 82608
Session Description:
Profound progress is possible when community-wide cooperation and coordination is accomplished, perhaps best illustrated recently by the remarkable feat of imaging a black hole for the first time by coordinating the power of eight major radio observatories on four continents and over 200 astronomers. Similarly, the the Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions (WHPI) initiative is a pioneering effort to coordinate global, community-wide observation and modeling efforts to characterize the 3-dimensional interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system, carrying to the current solar minimum the heritage of the Whole Sun Month (1996) and Whole Heliosphere Interval (2008). This session will feature efforts and results to observe the full breadth of Sun-Earth-planets and to comprehensively map the solar-minimum heliosphere via state-of-the-art models. We seek abstracts from individuals and teams of researchers to support WHPI. Goals are to reveal WHPI progress, bring together the WHPI community for active discussions, and reveal best practices for community-wide coordination efforts.
