WAVES AND TURBULENCE IN SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL PLASMAS

Wave and turbulent phenomena are fundamental physical processes that have been shown through remote and in-situ observations to occur ubiquitously in all types of solar-terrestrial plasmas, ranging from the Sun, solar wind, magnetosphere to the ionosphere. They are intricately connected with coronal dynamics and heating, solar wind acceleration and interaction with the Earth's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers from the different disciplines to compare theoretical and observational results on waves and turbulence, including shocks. The meeting will provide a forum to share seismological or spectral analysis techniques, and to address interdisciplinary questions such as the solar origin of turbulence in the solar wind and the solar wind drivers of magnetospheric pulsations and ionospheric turbulence. Presentations on applications from planetary and astrophysical research areas are also welcome.
