Workshop: Development of an Integrated Understanding of the Sun-Earth System in Borovets, Bulgaria; September 12 - 16, 2011

首席研究员将在保加利亚组织一次国际社区讲习班和专题讨论会，以促进跨学科研究和教育。本次研讨会将于2011年9月12日至16日在保加利亚首都索非亚附近的Borovets镇举行。第二届太阳-地球系统最新观测和模拟国际研讨会（isrose - ii）将为所有空间物理学界的科学家提供一个论坛，展示和讨论太阳-地球系统建模和观测的最新进展。本次研讨会是2006年9月17日至22日在保加利亚瓦尔纳举行的非常成功的ISROSES研讨会的延续。研讨会的每一天将专门讨论一个主要的科学主题，包括观测和建模方面：(1)太阳风-磁层相互作用；(2)磁层-电离层-热层耦合；(3)近地空间环境动力学；(4)新的测量、数据分析和仿真技术。研讨会的主要目标之一是提高“对影响太阳活动的过程的理解和预测，以及由此产生的太阳效应通过太阳风传播到地球”，这是美国国家科学基金会国家空间天气计划（NSWP）的主要目标。isrose - ii也与NSF的太阳、日球层和行星际环境（SHINE）社区、地球空间环境建模（GEM）社区和大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学（CEDAR）社区的战略目标和重点领域相关。

The Principal Investigator will organize an international community workshop and symposium in Bulgaria to foster interdisciplinary research and education. This sympoium will be held during September 12-16, 2011, in the Bulgarian town of Borovets near the capital of Sofia. The proposed Second International Symposium on Recent Observations and Simulations of the Sun-Earth System (ISROSES-II) will provide a forum for scientists from all space physics communities to present and discuss recent advances in modeling and observations of the Sun-Earth System. This symposium is a continuation of the highly successful ISROSES symposium held in Varna, Bulgaria, during September 17-22, 2006. Each day of the symposium will be devoted to a primary science topic, including both the observational and modeling aspects of: (1) solar wind - magnetosphere interactions; (2) magnetosphere - ionosphere - thermosphere coupling; (3) dynamics of the near-Earth space environment; and (4) new measurement, data analysis, and simulation techniques.One of the main goals of the Symposium is to improve "understanding and prediction of processes affecting solar activity and the propagation of resulting solar effects to the Earth via the solar wind," which has been a prime objective of the NSF's National Space Weather Program (NSWP). ISROSES-II is also relevant to the strategic goals and focus aeas of the NSF's Solar, Heliospheric, and INterplanetary Environment (SHINE) community, the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) community, and the Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) community.
