Principal Organizers: Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP), and ICSU World Data System (ICSU-WDS)
The principal objective of the workshop is to stimulate interaction among data providers (WDS members, data centres, data networks, etc.), data scientists, and data-oriented researchers of the SCOSTEP community. The VarSITI (Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact) program of SCOSTEP will strive for international collaboration in data analysis, modelling, and theory to understand how the solar variability affects the Earth’s environment. Long-term preservation and provision of quality-assessed data and information will be common objectives for SCOSTEP and WDS. Development of advanced data systems to enable scientists to perform multidisciplinary data-analysis will be another common target. This workshop will be a remarkable opportunity to initiate close collaboration between SCOSTEP and WDS to promote our data-oriented activities by introducing outcomes from the information technology. Data analysis of selected solar-terrestrial events will be an important component of the workshop also not only to develop the study of solar-terrestrial variability but also to establish a mutual feedback loop between “data users”and data providers.
