White Paper Clearing House for the 2012 Solar and Space Physics Decadal Survey
The Decadal Survey in Solar and Space Physics is now underway, [http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_056864 SSP2012].
To assist the survey committee, the scientific community has been asked to submit science concept [http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_056864#White_Papers_and_Community_Input white papers] describing how to advance an existing or new scientific objective, contribute to fundamental understanding of the Sun-Earth system, and/or facilitate the connection between science and societal needs (e.g., improvements in space weather prediction).
Whitepapers are due on November 12, 2010
Instruction on the proper format for 7-page white papers are at [http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/CurrentProjects/SSB_057790 this pdf].
The ideas and concepts received will be reviewed by one or more of the survey's study panels, which are organized to address the following themes:
- § Atmosphere-Ionosphere-Magnetosphere Interactions
- § Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Interactions
- § Solar and Heliospheric Physics
and by cross-cutting working groups:
§ Theory & Modeling
- § Explorers, Suborbital and other Platforms
- § Innovations in Technology, Instruments, and Data Systems
- § Research to Operations/Operations to Research
- § Education/Workforce/Outreach
Initiatives and concepts that are cross-cutting among these themes are particularly encouraged.
The Solar Physics Division of the AAS wants to facilitate community involvement in the process. As a service to help coordinate the solar and space physics community response, this web page is available to those interested in preparing a white paper to register their intent and share information.
