5th International HEPPA Workshop in conjunction with SPARC/SOLARIS-HEPPA

The importance of solar forcing on climate has now been recognized. However, the atmospheric solar signal and its transfer mechanism(s) remain still uncertain.

To address these questions, international working groups aim to clarify the effects of solar influence on climate with special focus on the importance of middle atmosphere chemical and dynamical processes and their coupling to the Earth's surface with state-of-the art chemistry-climate models (CCMs) as well as mechanistic models and observations. We foster and initiate detailed studies on the "top-down" solar UV and the "bottom-up" Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) mechanisms, as well as on the impact of high-energy particles.The workshop will focus on observational and modeling studies of the influences of solar radiation and energetic particle precipitation (EPP) on the atmosphere and climate. The meeting will last five full days, beginning Monday morning, 5 May 2014. Broad topics to be covered include the causes and phenomenology of solar radiation and energetic particle variability, mechanisms by which radiative and particle forcing affect atmospheric chemistry and dynamics, contributions of solar and EPP forcing to climate variability and space weather, and the current state of the art and outlook for relevant observations and models.

Session Topics are:
A. Solar and Particle Variability
B. Solar and Particle Effects on the Stratosphere and Above
C. Solar and Particle Effects on the Troposphere and Climate
D. Atmospheric and Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling
E. Tools for Assessing Solar and Particle Influences (new or improved measurements, models, etc).

Programm siehe http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/HEPPA_SOLARIS_2014.php => Program;
Monday, 5 May to Wednesday, 7 May 2014:
HEPPA/SOLARIS Workshop with plenary sessions (invited tutorials and overview talks), and contributed presentations as posters. The topics will cover all aspects from solar irradiance variability and energetic particle sources to their impact on atmospheric and climate. There will be ample time reserved for poster sessions.
Topical poster sessions will be arranged every day.
Thursday, 8 May 2014:
Workshop with contributed oral presentations providing an overview on ongoing international activities and plans related to solar/particle impact on the atmosphere, and presentations of ongoing SPARC SOLARIS-HEPPA activities
Friday, 9 May 2014:
Parallel working group meetings of the SPARC SolarMIP and HEPPA-II working groups; the HEPPA/SOLARIS workshop will be closed by a joint SPARC/SOLARIS-HEPPA reporting and discussion session.
Invited speakers are: Harlan Spence, Mark Clilverd, Thierry Dudok de Wit, Nathalie Krivova, Martyn Mlynczak, Monika Andersson, Dan Marsh, Marko Laine, Jeff Knight, Eugene Rozanov, Amanda Maycock, Bernd Funke, and Katja Matthes.

The workshop is sponsored by the following international associations and institutions: WCRP/SPARC, KIT, IAGA, IAMAS, IUGG, and SCOSTEP/VarSITI.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
