Overview
By improving the quality of magnetograms —key input data representing the magnetic field distribution on the solar surface— through the use of modern data processing, the goal is to enhance resolution and reduce noise, thereby significantly improving space weather forecasting.
This Improving Solar Corona Simulations with Advanced Boundary Conditions (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will enhance the ability to predict solar events such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which is crucial for mitigating their impact on Earth’s technology. The Solar Corona Simulations with Advanced Boundary Conditions (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will also involve the development of high-order numerical solvers for solar corona modeling, aimed at enhancing predictive accuracy and contributing to both foundational research and practical applications in space weather prediction.
