Scientific Programme, Workshop Schedule, and Projects

In the first week (lecture week) two types of instruction units were offered. In the morning hours, lectures (60 minutes each) addressed a broad spectrum of issues ranging from spacecraft missions and instrumentation to data analysis techniques and modeling. The methods and tools introduced in these lectures were practised in hands-on computer sessions that took place in a computer room equipped with 26 Linux workstations. Various software environments such as IDL and Matlab were offered. The lecture notes and computer assignments (including software and data) are still online. To find the scientific programme and the workshop schedule with active links and pointers to the files, go here (html). A pdf version of the final workshop schedule is also available.

In the second week (project week) the workshop participants formed groups and worked on data analysis and modeling projects related to the subjects of the workshop. On Thursday, 14 June 2007, the groups presented their results in the context of the STIMM-2 workshop that took place from 12-16 June 2007 in the same location. Further information (including the final presentations and photos of the project teams) can be found here.

Project topics
  • Auroral Knight relation using electric field and particle data
  • What are the proper solar wind inputs for predicting geomagnetic indices?
  • Determination of the macroscopic parameters of the Earth's magnetopause
  • Estimation of the IMF disturbances propagation delay time
  • Test of collisionless transport equations in the solar wind

Afterwards, the STIINTE participants had the opportunity to take part in the STIMM-2 workshop.
