General Information

CAWSES International Workshop on Space Weather Modeling (CSWM) will be held at the Earth Simulator Center in Yokohama, Japan from November 14 to 17, 2006. This workshop will provide a forum for review and discussion of space weather modeling research. Not only the numerical simulation but also the observation and the elementary physics of space weather related phenomena can be covered in this workshop. Also the special session for “Hinode (Solar-B)” first light will be organized. This workshop really aims to promote the interdisciplinary collaboration among different research fields, the Sun, the solar corona, solar wind, Earth’s Magnetosphere, ionosphere, numerical modeling, and plasma physics, and it is open to any scientists interested in space weather research.
