− | This page is a summary of the work by Working Group 5, dedicated to predicting the southern magnetic field component of CMEs.

| |
− | =='''WG5 Statement'''==
| |
− | The presence of southward magnetic fields in ICMEs are
| |
− | the most important factor in producing geomagnetic storms.
| |
− | The challenge is that direct observations of magnetic fields near the Sun
| |
− | are extremely limited: currently possible only in the
| |
− | photosphere/chromosphere
| |
− | at the solar end and by in-situ observations at 1 AU.
| |
− | WG5 aims to understand and reconstruct the possible flux
| |
− | rope magnetic structure
| |
− | of CMEs/ICMEs from observations and models. It also aims to
| |
− | predict the intensity and the duration of of the Bs in ICMEs
| |
− | upon arriving at the Earth.

− | =='''Methodology'''==
| |
− | * Deduce near-Sun |B| of CMEs
| |
− | * Deduce near-Sun orientation of CMEs
| |
− | * Propagate near-Sun |B| to 1 AU
| |
− | * Propagate near-Sun orientation to 1 AU
| |
− | * Compare predictions with observations at 1 AU
| |

| |
− | ==='''Preliminary Work Plan'''===
| |
− | * Find suitable datasets for near-Sun |B| field calculations applicable to as many of the available methods as possible --- <b> start with events already analysed </b> by the various team members ----coordinate w/ the data and campaign WGs (yrs 1-2)
| |
− | * Assess the pros & cons of the various methods of near-Sun |B| determination -- coordinate w/ the theory and modeling WGs (yrs 1-2)
| |
− | * Apply methods (existing or improved) to a sample of CMEs and determine near-Sun |B| -> paper and list of events/data (yrs 2-3)
| |
− | * Extrapolate near-Sun |B| & orientation to 1 AU and compare w/ in-situ measurements and MC fittings ->paper and tables of pertinent data (yrs 3-4)
| |
− |

− | ----
| |

| |
− | ==='''Current Action Items'''===
| |
− | * Prepare a list of CMEs of which their near-Sun magnetic field has been already been deduced, by at least one method.
