Space weather is referred to the conditions in the solar-terrestrial system, including the Sun, solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere, that can influence human activities in space and on ground. Possible influences and forcings on the terrestrial climate from the space are also important topics to be investigated together with the detailed understanding of the space weather. This session invites papers discussing recent advances in (1) fundamental studies on physical processes that emerge in the solar-terrestrial system, (2) data analysis of space weather events and application studies on space weather, including the forecasting technique and the influence on human activities in space and on ground, (3) understanding of the possible relationships and mechanisms between the space weather and terrestrial climate.
