Understanding Magnetic Eruptions in the Sun and Their Interplanetary Consequences
Abstract
A major goal of our MURI project was to develop a state-of-the-art, observationally- tested 3-d numerical modeling system for predicting magnetic eruptions on the Sun and their interplanetary consequences. This project is motivated by the fact that the Sun drives the most violent space weather events. The mechanisms that trigger and drive these eruptions are the least understood aspects of space weather. A better physical understanding of how magnetic eruptions occur and how these disturbances propagate will surely lead to more accurate and longer range forecasts.
