| Session Description |
Solar and heliospheric radio remote sensing has over six decades of heritage from the mid-1900’s, when the Sun was first discovered to be one of the strongest sources of intermittent radio signals, up until current times. Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) has as nearly as long a history of using low frequency radio signals of point sources to measure solar wind structure and speed. More recently, NASA spacecraft imaging provides interesting comparative radio science about the features propagating from the Sun and within the heliosphere. These radio systems have been pressed for use in forecasting solar wind disturbance propagation toward the Earth and inner planets where they give constraints about the directions and speeds of the outward-moving material. In this special session we invite presentations from those who use remotely-sensed radio signals to study or forecast solar disturbance propagation and solar wind parameters. |
