We are now transitioning to a 'data rich' era in our exploration of the heliosphere and how the sun's expanding plasma atmosphere, the solar wind, affects space weather at earth. The combination of long-standing solar and solar wind observations with recently launched Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions that will visit within the orbit of Mercury provide unprecedented opportunities both for the study of fundamental physical processes such as turbulence and reconnection, and for improved quantitative insights into space weather at earth. The high Reynolds number solar wind is a large-scale natural laboratory for the study of turbulence in-situ, and Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter will scan the solar wind as it evolves from the vicinity of the solar corona to earth orbit. The project will involve understanding, modelling and adapting current data analytics methods to apply them to the rich and varied classes of in-situ and ground based space plasma observations. It will involve combining nonlinear plasma physics with a careful understanding of the varied nature of the observations and their uncertainties.

现在，我们在探索地球层的探索中过渡到了一个“数据丰富”时代，以及太阳扩展的等离子体气氛如何影响地球上的太空天气。长期存在的太阳能和太阳风观测以及最近发射的帕克太阳能探测器和太阳轨道仪任务将在汞轨道内访问，这为研究提供了前所未有的机会，包括研究基本的物理过程，例如湍流和重新连接，以及改进的定量定量洞察力，以改善地球上太空的天气。高雷诺数太阳风是用于研究湍流的大规模天然实验室，帕克太阳能探头和太阳轨道机将扫描太阳能从太阳能电晕附近演变为地球轨道。该项目将涉及理解，建模和调整当前数据分析方法，以将其应用于富裕和多样化的基于原位和地面的空间等离子体观察。它将涉及将非线性等离子体物理学与对观测值及其不确定性的各种性质的仔细了解。
