SPACE WEATHER DAYS 2026

SPACE WEATHER DAYS 2026 by OFRAME
February 9-10, 2026

Closing date for registration : January 15th, 2026

Closing date for abstract : End of December, 2025

Nous invitons des contributions sur les derniers développements (instrumentation, outils, modèles, données) en matière de météorologie spatiale. Des sessions seront organisées sur les outils et modèles numériques simulant les interactions Soleil-Terre, les missions internationales déjà opérationnelles ou en cours de développement (par exemple Aurora-D, SWING ou VIGIL), les derniers développements instrumentaux pour les petites plateformes (par exemple 3D-CAM, DREAM, ICARE_NG,...) et l'exploitation des données issues des observatoires au sol. Nous sollicitons tout particulièrement des contributions sur l'analyse des événements majeurs de 2024 et 2025.

Localisation
