Scientific Objectives

The main ISEST objective is to "improve the scientific understanding of the origin and propagation of solar transients, and develop the prediction capacity of these transients' arrival and potential impact on the Earth".
The WG3 (Simulation Group) will:

  • Investigate processes of the CME initiation, heliospheric propagation, and CMEs interaction
  • Develop tools to assist collaboration of numerical modelers, theoreticians, and observers
