Remote-sensing observations and modelling of the heliosphere: a case study based around the July-August 2010 events. (Harrison leading the observations in the morning, Odstrcil leading the modelling in the afternoon)
Linking in the remote-sensing modelling and observing via the case study of the July-August 2010 events from LASCO C3/COR2 to the Earth and beyond covering discussions of the remote-sensing observations of the inner heliosphere during this time, their comparison with in-situ data at various stages throughout the inner solar system, tackling the modelling of the events and their implications due to the complexity and number of events coinciding during this time, the interaction with the solar wind, event initiation, as well as the different types of modelling, and why certain aspects of modelling and indeed data interpretation did not and do not work. After the extended solar minimum activity, the Sun has become more active and the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are starting to be more frequent and violent. Co-rotating interaction regions (CIRs) and transient disturbances can be detected by various ground-based and spacecraft imagers. Interpretation of the 3-D dynamic heliospheric structures is very challenging. The aim of this session is to discuss remote-sensing observations in the context of these events as well as the applications of empirical and numerical models in an effort to increase our understanding and improve our forecasting capabilities. Relevant talks to this session need not only concentrate on the July-August 2010 events if they can add to the overall aims of this all-day session.

Evening:

Informal drinks/get-together in Aberystwyth town and informal discussions.
