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

Investigation of Mechanisms, Processes, and Forces (with WG2)
- How much variable ambient conditions affect ICMEs?
 - Which mechanisms, processes, forces are governing the CME take-off and ICME propagation?
 - The CME-associated phenomena
 
Forecasting the CME arrival and impacy (with WG4)
- Arrival time
 - Geo-effectiveness
