Theme Four: Space Climatology
Co-Chairs: Claus Frölich and Jan Sojka
As the range and amount of solar-terrestrial dara growm detailed analyses of the climatology of the Sun-Earth system become feasible. Climatology includes a description and understanding of the average properties and regular variations of the system; description and analysis of probabilities of extreme events; and evaluation of long-term trends. CAWSES will facilitate compilation of climatologies on the Sun, interplanetary medium, magnetospheres, ionosphere, and upper and muddle atmosphere; it will assess long-term trends in these system components; and it will seek to understand the underlying processes that influence the climate It will assemble and evaluate relevant data sets and help make them available to solar-terrestrial scientists worldwide. It will assess the characteristics of each data type (accuracy, precision, etc) and bring them onto a common space-time domain so that individual variations may be interpreted in terms of different causes.
