CEDAR email: Workshop on 'Radio Observations and Theory of Atmospheric Discharge Processes'

[Liu, Ningyu]

First announcement of the Workshop 'Radio Observations and Theory of Atmospheric Discharge Processes’ in
Bath UK, from Jun 29 - Jul 3, 2020

The workshop will cover observations, theory, instrumentation,
data analyses, and their scientific interpretation.

A full abstract is attached below, along with an alphabetical
list of invited speakers.

The main aim of the workshop is to stir in-depth
discussions on all aspects of observations and theory
of atmospheric discharges to identify critical open questions
and promising future developments to advance the field.

The workshop will take place from Jun 29 - Jul 3, 2020,
at the University of Bath in Southwest England.
Bath is a UNESCO world heritage site and a treat to visit as
the second most important tourist attraction after London.

The attendance of the workshop is free of any charges -
complimentary coffee/tea will be served, but there are no
additional resources available to us to cover your travel expenses.

If you are interested to attend the workshop, please

The deadline for registration for contributed presentations is
March 29th, 2020, such that there is good time to prepare
an engaging program of activities. If you are planning to
attend, it is recommended to book accommodation as early
as possible, as June is a busy time for tourism in Bath.

Radio Observations and Theory of Atmospheric Discharge Processes

This workshop aims at pushing forward the scientific understanding of
radio observations and theory of atmospheric discharge processes.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, interferometry, sferics,
radio signatures, lightning initiation and propagation, high energy
atmospheric physics, general electrical discharges, streamers,
leaders, and the lightning impact on the mesosphere and ionosphere.
Contributions that combine observations with theory are particularly welcome.

Tentative program:
* Radio observations / interferometry & sferics
* High energy atmospheric physics - radio signatures & discharge theory
* Lightning effects on the upper atmosphere / mesosphere & ionosphere
* Physical mechanisms of discharge processes / streamers & leaders
* Lightning discharges / physics & effects

Invited Speakers: Alejandro Luque, Caitano da Silva, Joseph Dwyer,
Maribeth Stolzenburg, Martin Fullekrug, Michael Briggs, Michael Stock,
Mitsuteru Sato, Morris Cohen, Nikolai Ostgaard, Ninyu Liu, Olaf Scholten,
Paul Krehbiel, Phil Bitzer, Robert Marshall, Robert Moore, Sebastien Celestin,
Steven Cummer, Thomas Marshall, Torsten Neubert, Ute Ebert, Victor Pasko,
Vladimir Rakov, Xiushu Qie, Xuan-Min Shao.
