CAWSES International Workshop
on
Space Weather Modeling (CSWM)

Advancement in our understanding of Space Environment is in great demand now as the dynamic activities of the Sun, the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere influence modern technology systems and can endanger the human life and health. The numerical simulation and modeling driven by integrating observations are powerful methods for understanding the complex Sun-Earth system, and they will be an important means for predicting the space weather. To address this issue, “CAWSES International Workshop on Space Weather Modeling (CSWM)” is being organized at The Earth Simulator Center in Yokohama, Japan. This workshop will provide a forum for review of the recent progress and the next scientific challenges in space weather modeling research.

Workshop topics include: Modeling of solar and heliospheric magnetic field; solar flares, CMEs, and filament eruption; solar energetic particles; solar wind; magnetospheric storm and sub-storm; radiation belt and ring current; Magnetosphere-Ionosphere coupling; and new simulation algorithms of solar and space plasmas. The observations and the assimilation technique concerned with the space weather are also included. The workshop will begin with overview lecture on the current research activities, and it will be followed by invited talks and discussions for the specific topics. The contributed talks and the poster presentation are also organized.
