Over more than a decade, Solar and Heliospheric Scientists have observed behavior in the solar wind that is unprecedented through the space age. Solar wind densities, magnetic field strengths and pressures have been exceptionally low, while galactic cosmic ray fluxes have reached the highest levels in more than 80 years. Solar activity has also been extremely weak during the mini solar maximum of cycle 24. Fundamental to Heliophysics is connection between solar activity, the properties of the solar wind and Heliospheric magnetic field, the nature and frequency of coronal mass ejections, the properties of solar energetic particles and cosmic rays. The physical relationships between these phenomena is a critical area in Heliophysics with wide-reaching implications for space weather, and for upcoming missions including Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, and the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe.
We invite you to come to the meeting. If you should decide to come, please send an email to Maureen Rodgers (maureen.rodgers@unh.edu), and if you would like to give a talk, please send a title along with the authors and co-authors to Maureen.
