Multi-Spacecraft Investigations of Solar and Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections in Complex Solar Wind Environments

太阳物理学正处于黄金时期，提供无与伦比质量的观测的卫星数量空前，要么(远程)观测太阳，要么(现场)观测太阳风。该项目将利用多航天器观测的互补性来研究等离子体和动力学性质。其目的是揭示可能影响我们的辐射环境、我们的通信系统和我们的气候的空间天气事件链中控制太阳-地球系统关键区域的现象和物理机制。除了加入地球物理和天体物理流体动力学中心，这位博士生还将直接受益于与天体物理学星系团和附近的英国气象局空间气象活动的联系。这一全新的博士项目将使学生具备与太阳轨道器相适应的技能，以应对未来的科学。太阳轨道器是欧空局将于2020年启动的任务。

Heliophysics is in its golden age, with an unprecedented number of satellites providing observations of unparalleled quality, either (remotely) of the Sun or (in-situ) of the solar wind. The project will be to investigate plasma and dynamical properties using the complementarities of multi-spacecraft observations. The objective is to reveal phenomena and unravel the physics governing key regions of our Sun-Earth system in the chain of space weather events that can affect our radiation environment, our communication systems and our climate. As well as joining the Centre for Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, the PhD student will directly benefit from links with the Astrophysics cluster and the nearby Met Office space weather activities. This brand new PhD project will equip the student with skills suited to address future science with Solar Orbiter, the ESA mission to be launched in 2020.
