Two University of Toronto students in the math and physics program discuss interesting topics in the field.

  1. Episode #122 - What's the Weather in Space? w/ Jose Arnal

    18 OCT

    Episode #122 - What's the Weather in Space? w/ Jose Arnal

    Today I speak with Jose Arnal, a senior PhD student at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. His research focusses on space weather and data assimilation techniques to better predict the flow properties of the solar wind. We talk about the recent CMEs (which caused the Northern Lights), solar activity, and common techniques to model these events. Enjoy! For further questions, feel free to email Jose at:  ⁠jose.arnal AT mail.utoronto.ca⁠ Connect with Jose on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jose-arnal-33418b113/⁠ Read Jose's recent paper on data assimilation for MHD: ⁠https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045793024002056⁠ - Socials - Instagram: @math.physics.podcast Email: math.physics.podcast@gmail.com Discord: https://discord.gg/M6TMgFA4xb Twitter: @MathPhysPod
