Mesoscale dynamics — the key to unlocking the universal physics of multiscale feedback
The undersampled mesoscale regime is crucial to study and we believe could be a unifying focus of heliospheric research in the coming decades. Making progress over the coming decades requires a new approach, enabled by advancements in measurement technology and computational power. We suggest 3 initiatives.
