Runs from Monday, February 23 to Wednesday, February 25. The Sun's atmosphere is a highly dynamic environment controlled by the action of strong magnetic fields and exhibiting powerful releases of energy in the form of radiation or accelerated particles during flares and/or coronal mass ejections. A reliable forecasting of these phenomena represents a forward step in avoiding damages to electrical devices and hazards for human space activity. The physical processes occurring in the atmosphere are doubtless affected by those happening in the interior and photosphere of the Sun, but a complete understanding of the coupling is still missing. It is believed that the linkage between the interior and solar atmosphere is carried out by MHD perturbations guided by field-aligned plasma non-uniformities. Effective analysis of this connectivity can be built upon the combination of solar interior, atmospheric and coronal studies. The aim of this meeting is to gather experts in the different branches of research in solar physics, covering the physics of the Sun's interior to the corona, from an observational and theoretical point of view. This will provide a unique opportunity to qualitatively advance our knowledge of the solar atmospheric magnetic connectivity and identify the whole chain of the magnetic energy transfer through the solar atmosphere. |
