We propose for us and to the community a CME/flare initiation challenge and benchmark
How different physics and resolution affects the evolution
Steps taken for starting the challenge

Compare different models:
•Ideal MHD•Resistive MHD•Different resitivities•Zero beta MHD•Two fluid and kinetic
Useful benchmark for different codes now and in the future
Where and how reconnection develops
How fast does the prominence raise

Expansion against the overarlying arcade
Specific choice of arcade and of rope

• f = 0.2 nearly force-free flux rope with a strong shear field B
• ε = 1 the initial states are not exactly force-balanced. The maximum forces in the vertical direction were found to be approximately 0.1 (normalized by characteristic values of current density and magnetic field)

Task 4: Space weather model validation and forcasting (Hvar, ROB, KFKI, UOulu, KUL, DTU)
Based on the results of Tasks 1-3 we will improve existing capability and develop new methods for space weather forcasting, including:
•Prediction of arrival time of interplanetary CMEs at the Earth (Hvar)
•Prediction of geomagnetic disturbances associated with high-speed streams from coronal holes (Hvar)
•Validation of the Solar Particle Engineering Code (SOLPENCO) for extreme events (KFKI)
•Model validation and prediction of near-Earth solar wind disturbances associated with ICMEs and high speed solar wind streams (KUL, Hvar) and their geo-effectiveness (DTU, UOulu, KFKI, ROB)
•Short-term prediction of the magnetic storms and the time development of the improved Dst (UOulu, ROB)
•Long-term forcasting of coronal hole and solar activity centre occurrence (UOulu)
•Prediction of scintillations (IEEA)
Deliverable 4.5 (next year)
