Theory, observation and simulation of turbulence in space plasmas

Objective

The TOSTISP programme will train young researchers in the methods needed to analyze and model turbulence in the space plasma environment. Such training is essential in the European context to
(a) maximize the return from current ESA space missions obtaining data of turbulent plasmas (SOHO, Cluster and Ulysses) and
(b) to train a new generation of young European scientists for the next generation of such space missions (Solar-B, Bepi-Colombo, Solar Orbiter and STEREO). The researchers will receive training in:
(1) the analysis of time series of data from turbulent plasmas such as the solar wind,
(2) the analysis of images of the solar corona, and detection of turbulence and small-scale structures,
(3) the development, running and interpretation of large-scale magneto hydrodynamic simulation models of turbulent plasmas, using both massively parallel and Grid methods and
(4) the management of research programmes, such as the development of coordinated observing campaigns. The training will be accomplished by the presence of post-docs in the research groups, through summer schools and smaller training meetings on turbulence, and through post -doc "swaps", where the post -doc experiences different institutions. In addition, the network will provide training for a number of non-EU-funded students.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
