Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract for the 2010 Fall AGU meeting, in
Session SA11: Heliosphere-Atmosphere Coupling and Climate. A description
of the session is given below. Invited authors include Lesley Gray,
Janet Kozyra, David Siskind, and Anne Smith. This promises to be an
exciting session of broad, interdisciplinary interest, and we hope that
you will be able to attend.

The meeting will be held in San Francisco, California, USA, from 13-17
December 2010 (see http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/). Abstracts are due
by Thursday, 2 September, 23:59 EDT.

Sincerely,
Session SA11 Co-Conveners (Xiaohua Fang, Charles Jackman, Cora Randall,
Stanley Solomon)

Session SA11: Heliosphere-Atmosphere Coupling and Climate
Session Description:
In recent decades increased attention has been placed on the influence
of energetic particle and solar forcing on atmospheric coupling.
Nevertheless, a solid mechanistic understanding of the pathways by which
this forcing affects climate from the thermosphere to the surface is
elusive. Likewise, the influence of tropospheric change on the upper
atmosphere response to heliophysical variability is highly uncertain.
This session invites presentations on the Earth’s atmospheric response
to geomagnetic and solar forcing, including observational and modeling
studies of both chemical and dynamical effects. Emphasis is on the
processes by which heliophysical forcing is communicated throughout
different atmospheric regions, and potential climate feedbacks.

GC29: Solar Spectral Irradiance and Long-Term Solar Variability: Observations 
and Implications

Description:
Observations of the spectrally resolved solar irradiance (SSI) now extend over 
epochs that are long enough to identify the amplitude and phase of solar 
variability as a function of wavelength. This variability impacts the entire 
atmosphere, ozone and climate system. Long-term data records are often 
composites from several instruments or proxies. The methods of combining records 
and their uncertainties must be well understood to make valid comparisons on 
solar cycle timescales. We solicit papers on the measurement of SSI, the methods 
of producing composite time series, and the implications and impacts that SSI 
variations have on the atmosphere, climate, and near space environment.

We encourage all members of the CEDAR community to contribute to this session on 
the atmospheric response to solar spectral irradiance changes.  If you have any 
questions, don't hesitate to contact any of the conveners listed below.

Thanks!

Marty Snow (snow at lasp.colorado.edu), Rodney Viereck, Bill McClintock, and Erik 
Richard

IES2011 - A triennial symposium inaugurated in 1975 -

Dear IES Friends and Colleagues:

IES2011 is scheduled for May 17-19, 2011 in Alexandria, Virginia, an historic 
town near Washington DC. Ionospheric Effects Symposia have been held in 
Alexandria since 1975, and IES2011 is the thirteenth in the series. Please visit 
the symposium web site for details (http://www.ies2011.com).  IES2011 offers an 
opportunity for scientists, engineers, and program managers to review current 
activities and solutions to system impacts of ionospheric phenomena and space 
weather events. Current sponsors include the Office of Naval Research and URSI. 
There are numerous Federal agency affiliates.

You are cordially invited to submit a paper abstract/title to the organizers of 
IES2011, intended for Oral presentation and/or Poster presentation at the 
symposium. Paper submission and early registration forms are available from the 
site.

The following are some sample topics:

* Space-Weather and ionospheric effects on telecommunication and satellite systems
* Current solar cycle phenomena and impact on operational systems
* Modeling, forecasting, and prediction systems
* Ionospheric sounder methods and measurements
* Multi-Sensor contributions to the solution of Space-Weather effects on 
ionospherically-dependent systems
* Applications of ionospheric tomography
* Transionospheric effects, including scintillation
* Ionospheric effects on WAAS and other systems supporting aviation
* High Frequency communication and surveillance systems
* Longwave propagation systems and effects
* Global Positioning System and total electron content studies
* Impact of the lower atmosphere on the Ionosphere
* Contribution of the IHY to the understanding of the ionosphere at all longitudes
* Impact of global electrodynamics on the storm-time ionosphere
* Results derived from COST-ACTION programs
* Impact of solar noise bursts and environmental noise on telecommunication and 
navigation systems
* Space-Weather program activities having relevance to ionospheric effects on 
C3I and navigation systems
* Products and services offered by industry relevant to prediction & forecasting 
of ionospheric effects
* Government projects associated with the forecasting and/or mitigation of 
deleterious effects on national and/or military systems
* Studies of documented system impacts during major geomagnetic storms and other 
solar-generated events
* New Applications & Products for Display and Analysis of Ionospheric and 
Space-Weather Data

There are a number of special sessions planned. They follow:
* Special Session on Navigation convened by Patricia Doherty (Boston College)
* Special Session on Lower Atmospheric Forcing of Electrodynamics and the 
Ionosphere,convened by Dr. Tim Fuller-Rowell (NOAA-SWPC) and Larisa Goncharenko
* Special Session on Ionospheric and Space Weather Effects on Telecommunications 
and Navigation Systems, convened by Dr. Giorgiana De Franceschi (INGV, Rome, 
Italy) and Dr. Iwona Stanislawska
* Special Session on Ionospheric sounder methods and measurements: convened by 
Prof. Bodo Reinisch, UML

(3) 13th International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA13) March 12-17, 
2012 and 50th anniversary of the Jicamarca Observatory March 17, Paracas, Peru, 
First Announcement
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jorge L. Chau <jorge.chau at jro.igp.gob.pe>, reply to isea13 at jro.igp.gob.pe.

The International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA) is an event organized 
approximately every three to four years and is a major event in the field of 
upper atmospheric and ionospheric science.  ISEA brings together around 150 
scientists from all over the world who are interested in studying the low 
latitude atmosphere and ionosphere and the coupling with other latitudinal and 
altitudinal regions.

The 13th International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy will be held from March 
12-17, 2012 at the La Hacienda Bahia Paracas Hotel 
(http://www.hoteleslahacienda.com/esp/paracas/index_paracas.html), in 
Paracas-Peru.  Preliminary information about ISEA 13 can be found at 
http://jro.igp.gob.pe/isea13

In addition to marking 50 years since the first ISEA held in Huaychulo, Peru in 
1962, ISEA 13 will also celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Jicamarca Radio 
Observatory (http://jro.igp.gob.pe/50years - web site under construction).  The 
central day for Jicamarca's 50th Anniversary celebration will be immediately 
after ISEA 13 on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory.

If you are interested in participating in ISEA 13 and receiving future 
announcements please contact us at isea13 at jro.igp.gob.pe
