Information - ST9 Solar and heliospheric influences on the Earth's ecosystem
Event Information
This session explores the physical mechanisms which causally link
space weather and space climate to the Earth's weather and climate,
driven by solar and heliospheric variability. The first section
of this session explores the scientific basis of space weather
variability from extraterrestrial driving forces, such as energetic
charged particles and their propagation through interplanetary
space along the geomagnetic field lines down to the Earth's atmosphere.
The second section of this session explores the pathways of extraterrestrial
influences on the Earth's atmosphere via the global atmospheric electric
circuit through DC/AC electromagnetic fields and their relation to clouds,
thunderstorms, lightning and sprites, and via neutral atmosphere
dynamics and chemistry through the radiative energy balance,
heat transfer, momentum transport, and the propagation of waves
in the atmosphere. Contributions on the synthesis of solar
terrestrial and atmospheric processes are particularly welcome.
