MADAWG

The Modelling and Data Analysis Working Group (MADAWG) is a team of scientists and engineers working on:

  • Coordinating modelling and theoretical support for Solar Orbiter science
  • Preparing data analysis tools to relate different Solar Orbiter datasets
  • Defining the format of datasets and their metadata from Solar Orbiter
  • Defining how data archives will exchange Solar Orbiter data

Solar Orbiter is an ESA/NASA mission to explore the Sun and solar activity from inside the orbit of Mercury. The spacecraft will approach the Sun up to a perihelion distance of about 60 solar radii (0.29 AU) and permit close-up and high-latitude studies of the Sun for the first time.

Solar Orbiter will address a number of central questions in heliophysics:

  • What drives the solar wind and where does the coronal magnetic field originate from?
  • How do solar transients drive heliospheric variability?
  • How do solar eruptions produce energetic particle radiation that fills the heliosphere?
  • How does the solar dynamo work and drive connections between the Sun and the heliosphere?

Models and data analysis tools for the Solar Orbiter mission (Rouillard et al. 2020) is published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Journal (A&A)
