STCE Annual Meeting

Description

It is the season of the STCE annual meeting. Time to present the highlights of the past year.

Recently,  we redefined the key domains and topics covering the activities funded by the STCE. We are still refining it. It is a continuous process that keeps the STCE dynamic.

The domains are: Instrumentation & observations, research, operations, community engagement, management. Each domain includes several topics. Which? Check the link in the left menu.

The STCE looks always for collaborations amongst ourselves and stakeholders. The recent Mother's Day Storm offers a wonderful opportunity to show how the different groups in the different domains complement each other.

The (draft) timetable is available in the left menu.

      Assessing long-term changes in stratospheric water vapour observed from space 10m

      Changes in water vapour have an impact on surface climate, but are not well constrained due to differences between observations. In this study we quantify and compare variability and long-term changes in three merged satellite Climate Data Records of vertically resolved water vapour in the stratosphere.

      ICME impact on plasma turbulence and complexity at Venus, Earth and Mars. 10m

      We investigate the effects of ICME on the properties of turbulence and intermittency detected in the magnetosheath of Venus and Mars and compare with properties detected in the Earth’s magnetosheath when impacted by the same interplanetary event. We select two Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) events, one in January 2009 which hit Venus and Earth and the second one in 2018 which hit Earth and Mars. We use magnetic field and plasma data provided by Venus Express, Cluster and MAVEN on which we apply a full set of analysis methods including computation of Power Spectral Density (PSD), Probability Density Functions (PDFs) and the flatness. We compare the spectral index and the intermittent range of scales (where we observe scale dependent/increasing flatness) obtained for the non-magnetized planets with the same turbulence descriptors obtained for the Earth. We also compare planetary magnetosheath turbulence and intermittency properties observed during space weather events with quiet times results, for each planetary system.
