Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that abstract submissions are now open for European Space Weather Week (ESWW) 2026, taking place in Florence, Italy, from 2-6 November 2026.
This year, a radio-focused session aims to showcase developments in radio instrumentation, techniques, and the ability to diagnose plasma environments using radio emissions. We encourage you to submit abstracts on radio instruments, as well as fundamental science and operational space-weather applications of radio observations, covering solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric, and planetary investigations alike.
Abstract submission deadline: 15 May 2026
Session:
HEL3 - Radio instruments and diagnostics: from source regions to space weather applications
Description:
Radio signals are a key diagnostic for space weather applications. Starting from the highest frequencies (GHz), radio observations are used to study solar atmospheric dynamics and identify the solar origins of accelerated particles, whereas measurements down to very low frequencies (kHz) reveal the ionosphere’s response to solar eruptions and enable its diagnosis. Solar radio bursts (MHz – kHz) are used to track the trajectories of flare- and shock-accelerated particles, diagnose the heliospheric environment, cover distances where other remote-sensing and in-situ measurements are unavailable, and also act as warning signs for space weather forecasting models. Meanwhile, radio interference and blackouts caused by solar storms affect vital services, reflecting our dependence on radio-based infrastructure. The aim of this session is to showcase the wide-ranging abilities of radio emissions in diagnosing plasma environments (including the heliosphere, magnetosphere, and planetary atmospheres), as well as developments in instrumentation and radio techniques. We encourage contributions from stand-alone (radio) studies or as part of multi-wavelength investigations, whether focused on fundamental research or operational applications. We also encourage contributions showcasing advances in radio techniques, in addition to current and future radio instrumentation relevant to space weather monitoring and forecasting applications.
