Session details:
Modern Methods for the Analysis of Dynamical Plasma Processes in the Solar Atmosphere.The solar atmosphere displays complex plasma dynamics, manifesting itself in diverse phenomena such as jets, spicules, vortices, magnetic field reconnection, MHD wave excitation and propagation. The realistic models for the solar atmosphere dynamics are vital to understand the intricate interplay of magnetic fields and plasma flows, generating MHD waves, initiating plasma jets, inducing vortex motions and causing plasma instabilities. With the latest ground-, balloon- and space-based observatories (DKIST, SST, SUNRISE, PSP, Solar Orbiter), and advanced High-Performance Computing simulations, we are entering a new era of availability of unprecedented high-resolution data in various solar atmosphere layers and beyond. The remarkable quality of these datasets requires advanced analysis tools that can reliably extract important physical information. Our proposed session aims to explore current and near-future powerful data analysis tools, e.g. ML/AI, high-resolution numerical modeling, as well as methods from other scientific disciplines (e.g. engineering, image processing), that are still not widely used in solar physics. In this session, we will also explore the results obtained with the use of these methods and how newly proposed methodologies can be applied to study MHD wave propagation, small-scale photospheric magnetic fields and flows, coherent plasma structures, their dynamics and the energy transport between the lower and upper solar atmosphere layers.
