Magnetic coupling of the solar atmosphere

Objective

Observations of the Sun, using an unprecedented array of observatories located at various places around the earth and in space, are providing the solar community with startling new insights into the structure and dynamics of its surface and atmosphere. An important milestone reached the last years is that the great variety of features and dynamic processes observed in the solar atmosphere and ultimately the existence of what, traditionally, is called the chromosphere, transition region, and corona is due to the important role of the magnetic field and its complex interplay with the highly conductive plasma, convection and differential rotation. It is also becoming a common consensus that the transition from the photosphere to the corona is much more complex than a continuous interface between layers, but rather that these layers constitute a coupled system of mostly unresolved fine structures that extend to various heights above the photosphere and that this coupling is again due to the pervasive role of the magnetic field.

A major challenge to the solar scientific community it is now to combine the observational content provided by several space missions and high-resolution ground-based measurements of magnetic fields together with theoretical modelling and numerical simulations in order to improve our understanding of their emergence and evolution upward from the solar surface to the outer corona, as well as their role in the coupling, structuring and heating of the solar atmosphere, and their effects in the interplanetary medium and the Earth ' s environment. The aim of this conference will be to concentrate the current knowledge about the central theme of solar physics, e.g. solar magnetism, and to try to synthesize, by an integrated approach, the great collection of observations and theories in order to get an holistic picture of the solar atmosphere This will be achieved by bringing together leading solar scientists in theory, observation, modelling and instrumentation, who will address all the relevant scientific issues with a global oriented approach and clarify the main open questions in order to fully exploit the opportunities to be provided by the new generation spacecraft to be launched the next years as well as the ground-based instruments to be installed in observatories around the world.
