Working Group 3
Simulation group led by Dusan Odstrcil (USA) and Fang Shen (China); At-large leaders: Noe Lugaz (USA) and Chin-Chun Wu (USA)
Contents
Scientific Objective
- Provide global context for all CME events investigated by the ISEST team
- Investigate processes of the CME initiation and heliospheric propagation
- Develop tools to assist collaboration of numerical modelers, theoreticians, and observers
Scientific Questions
- Initiation
- Propagation
- Impact
Simulation of Event Periods (with WG1)
