STORM - Solar system plasma Turbulence:  Observations, inteRmittency and Multifractals

STORM@AGU2014 Session on solar system plasma dynamical complexity and intermittency

Marius Echim, Giuseppe Consolini and Tom Chang are the conveners of the session "Intermittency and Dynamical Complexity in Heliospheric Plasmas from the Sun to Interplanetary and Planetary Environments" organised at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, December 15-19, 2014. The session is devotet to  intermittency and dynamical complexity that are quite ubiquitous processes observed in the dynamics of solar, planetary and interplanetary plasmas and in the dynamical evolution of proxies linked to magnetospheric and ionospheric variabilitities. On the theoretical side, the understanding of such dynamical behaviors, which results from the evolution of multiscale structures, cannot be simply surmised from the fluid/kinetic equations, but instead requires novel thoretical, experimental and data analysis approaches. The session focus on the occurrence of intermittency and dynamical complexity in the context of solar, solar wind, magnetospheric, ionospheric and heliospheric plasmas, as well as geomagnetic variability addressing fundamental questions such as the role that nonlinearities, long range (non-local) connectivity and magnetic field topologies might play. The session welcomes observational, numerical and theoretical contributions on quantitative assessments of intermittency,  fractal/multifractal features, turbulent coherent structures interaction, criticality and non-linear cross-scale coupling.
