Space Climate School will be concentrated on different long-term datasets available for space climate studies and on different data analysis methods related to statistical analysis and error estimation of long inhomogeneous data series. These topics are very important since space climate research involves utilization of long running measurements (e.g., solar, geomagnetic, ground-based and satellite observations), which include large, complicated and inhomogeneous datasets. Space Climate School is targeted to the international community of students and young scientists in the field of Space Physics. The lecturers of the School are internationally recognized scientists with broad teaching experience. Schools on these specific topics are rarely organized in Space Physics community, which is why the Space Climate School offers, to beginning scientists in the field, a unique and rare opportunity to learn important aspects of Space Climate science.
School will take place March 30 - April 3, 2016.
Scope: Data and methods for long-term space climate studies
We recommend 2 ECTS Study points to be given for active participation in this School.
The daily schedule of the school consists of lectures, hands-on sessions and a long gap for daily outdoor activities. Current school program is visible below and can also be downloaded here.
A group photo of the school can be downloaded here.

School application system has now been closed. Students for school have been selected and informed.
Space Climate 6 Symposium brings together leading experts on the field of space climate. The objective of the Symposium is to better understand the causes and effects of long-term variations in solar activity including better understanding of solar magnetic dynamo process and how this produces various forms of solar activity (e.g., sunspots, flares, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, high-speed solar wind streams etc.) and to better understand how the varying solar activity affects the near-Earth space, atmosphere and even climate on time scales from a few solar rotations to centennial time scales and beyond up to several millennia. A key aspect of this is also to understand the intricacies of various datasets used to make inferences about long-term solar variations (e.g., the sunspot number series and geomagnetic observations).

Space Climate 6 will be held in Levi, Finnish Lapland, 30.3.-7.4.2016.
The school and symposium are organized in the modern facilities offered by Hotel Hullu Poro (eng. Crazy Reindeer). Being the largest skiing resort in Finland Levi offers a wide selection of outdoor activities in the middle of the best ski season.
Thanks to the optimal high latitude location, season and the phase of the solar cycle, spectacular auroral displays are almost guaranteed!

We offer free accomodation to students participating the Space Climate school. The school housing is arranged in cozy cottages containing all modern facilities, e.g., kitchen, sauna, bathroom and a fireplace.
The cottages (LeviKaira 9, 10, 11 and 12) are at a walking distance from Hotel Hullu Poro. The recommended routes to between the Hotel and the cottages are shown in the map. The accommodation in the cottages will be available from Tue 29.3. at 17:00 to Mon 4.4. noon. From Tue 29.4. 17:00 onwards we will have a reception desk at the lobby of Hotel Hullu Poro and a person at the cottages to help you and welcome you in.
For more information see LeviKaira apartments.
For symposium participants (including students who participated the preceding school) we recommend to take a look at the accommodation offered by Hotel Hullu Poro.
The deadline for booking the hotel has expired on 31 Jan 2016. As it is high season in Mar-Apr in Levi there are only a limited amount of available rooms in Hullu Poro left. You can ask for these accommodation by email directly from the Hotel.
For alternative accommodation we recommend to take a look at the following hotels, which are all very close to Hotel Hullu Poro:
Lapland Hotel Sirkantähti
Break Sokos Hotel Levi
Spa Hotel Levitunturi
The most convenient way of getting to Levi is to take a flight to Kittilä (KTT) about 15 km away from Levi center and Hotel Hullu poro. You can easily take a bus or taxi from Kittilä airport to Levi. During the peak season good transport is available after every flight arrival.
For more information on transport options check Kittilä airport
If you come from abroad, the easiest way to reach Kittilä is most likely to fly via Helsinki. Several internarional airlines fly to Helsinki and Finnair and Norwegian air operate from Helsinki to Kittilä. Norwegian operates to Kittilä about three times per week and Finnair typically two times per day.
There are also charter flights from several European (especially UK) airports to Kittilä during skiing season.
An alternative option is to take a night train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi (about 13 hours) and bus connection from Rovaniemi to Kittilä (about 2 hours).
From Kittilä airport you can reach Levi most conveniently by the shuttle bus (Tunturilinjat), which operates between the airport and major hotels (also Hullu Poro) at Levi. One way ticket costs 8 €. You can see the bus time tables here
