SYMPOSIUM PROGRAMME

The ISCS 2003 Symposium will summarize the most recent results gained on the measurements of irradiancy and particle radiation outputs by a wide range of solar activity phenomena. The results to be presented should be based on the measurements gained by space-borne and ground-based instruments. A special attention will be paid to understanding of regularities in variations of the discrete and global solar energy fluxes. Modelling efforts and explanations of the observed changes in these fluxes are expected considering a decisive role of magnetic field in the processes. The Symposium will also deal with responses of solar variability in the heliosphere and Earth's environment. Definitive framework and logistics of the CAWSES (Climate and Weather of the Sun-Earth System) program (2004-2008) approved by ICSU for the SCOSTEP community should be discussed and reviewed.

Topics of the Scientific Sessions, Conveners and a number of oral talks are listed below.
