SESSION: S3/M4/M6 Solar Wind Prediction
Wed. 15 February - 10:30-12:00
SESSION ORGANIZERS: Linker/Liu/DeRosa

SUMMARY: This session focuses on modeling and eventual prediction of
the state of the background (quiescent) solar wind.  In this session,
we will identify which parameters are needed for such models (e.g.,
line-of-sight and vector magnetic field data, expansion factors,
densities, temperatures, etc.), and further discuss which models
could/will be run, what temporal and spatial resolution is required for
these models, which solar wind parameters will be predicted, what data
are required to make these predictions, and how these models will be
developed, validated, and run.

TOPICS: There are two main types of models: the potential-field-based
wind models, and MHD wind models.  The session is therefore partitioned
into about equal parts discussing each type of model.  We have invited and
confirmed the following four speakers, who will each talk for 10 minutes,
and each followed by a short (10-min) moderated discussion section.
In the remaining 10 minutes, we will wrap up and (hopefully) come to a
consensus on the above points of discussion.

SPEAKERS (all confirmed):

 Nick Arge: WSA model
 Marc DeRosa: Lockheed solar-wind model
 Pete Riley: MHD models
 Jon Linker: MHD models
 Jon Linker: moderator for remaining time
