From sovit.khadka at orionspace.com Fri Dec 1 00:12:00 2023 From: sovit.khadka at orionspace.com (Sovit Khadka) Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2023 07:12:00 +0000 Subject: CEDAR email: 2024 EGU General Assembly session (ST3.3): Dynamics, Chemistry, and Coupling in the MLT Regions Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, You are cordially invited to submit abstracts to the EGU24 session (ST3.3): - Dynamics, Chemistry, and Coupling in the MLT Regions - which is scheduled for the EGU General Assembly, April 14-19, 2024, in Vienna, Austria and online. ****Session Details**** Session Title: ST3.3 - Dynamics, Chemistry, and Coupling in the MLT Regions Programme Group: Solar-Terrestrial Sciences Session Link: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/49726 Convener: Sovit Khadka, Orion Space Solutions, USA Co-conveners: Claudia Stolle, University of Rostock, Germany Franz-Josef L?bken, Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Germany Tatsuhiro Yokoyama, Kyoto University, Japan Session Description: The Earth's mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region is a great platform to study ionospheric dynamics, disturbances, eddy mixing, and controlling parameters. This transition region is sandwiched between the lower and upper atmosphere, which is strongly driven by the forcing from both the above (e.g., solar and magnetospheric inputs) and below (e.g., gravity waves and atmospheric tides). The thermal structure of the MLT region is controlled by numerous sources and sinks of energy, including solar radiation, chemical, and dynamical processes. Solar atmospheric tides, related to global-scale variations of temperature, density, pressure, and wind waves, are responsible for coupling the lower and upper layers of the atmosphere. During this coupling process, the precipitation of energetic particles into the MLT region also greatly influences the vertical profiles of the temperature, chemistry, and dynamics of the upper atmosphere. This is an appropriate forum/time to encourage the scientific community to present, discuss, update, and improve our understanding of dynamics, chemistry, and coupling in the MLT region that ultimately affect the electrodynamics of the whole coupled Geospace environment. This session invites presentations on scientific work related to various experimental/observational techniques, numerical and empirical modeling, and theoretical analyses on the dynamics, chemistry, and coupling processes in the altitude range of ~ 60 km ? 180 km of the MLT regions. We look forward to your contribution to our EGU24 session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 10 January 2024 at 13:00 CET. Thank you. Sincerely, Sovit Khadka, Claudia Stolle, Franz-Josef L?bken, and Tatsuhiro Yokoyama -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit: https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp Session Description: AS60- Remote and In-situ Sensing and Modelling of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere The Earth's middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere maintain a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple together and structure the atmosphere and ionosphere. As a result, remote sensing and in-situ investigations, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from those ground-based, in-situ and satellite-borne observations, modelling studies and relevant laboratory research. It will bring together studies of new sensing techniques and sensors, models and mission concepts, currently being planned or under development, to foster new collaborations, furthering the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. The meeting will be held in-person from June 23rd to 28th 2024. Abstract submissions are open and due January 2nd 2024. For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp We hope that you can accept our call to contribute a paper to our session and look forward to meeting you in South Korea at the 21st AOGS2024.

Session H02: ?Plasma waves, wave-particle interactions, and their multifold effects on the radiation belts? Session H02 Description: ?In the collisionless magnetospheric environment, plasma waves are crucial for the rapid storm-time enhancements in the radiation belts, as well as abrupt dropouts and gradual rebuilding of the belts, in combination with radial transport. However, major uncertainties remain on the spatial distribution, propagation, and spectral properties of key plasma waves in the inner magnetosphere and their feedback on energetic particle dynamics. Improved knowledge on the inclusion of nonlinear wave- particle interactions and the role of cold and hot plasma in the wave growth and propagation are needed. This session invites studies that advance our current understanding of wave-particle interactions and their role in radiation belt dynamics from observational, theoretical, and numerical points of view. We especially welcome investigations related to the development of new methods and mission concepts, as well as those that can gain insights on the global dynamics from multi-spacecraft and ground-based network observations.?

Our session ST20 is entitled "/Observations and Modelling of Geomagnetic Sudden Commencements: the Effects of Solar Wind Pressure Pulses/". Abstracts are due for submission on 2nd January 2024. Please see session abstract below: /Pockets of solar wind plasma that are faster and/or denser than the surrounding ambient plasma are known as solar wind pressure pulses. When these pressure pulses impact the terrestrial magnetopause, they rapidly compress the magnetosphere and excite the electrodynamics within. As the effects propagate inwards a well observed enhancement in the horizontal ground magnetic field occurs; this communication of pressure pulse effects into the magnetosphere is known as a geomagnetic sudden commencement (SC). SCs can be further subdivided into sudden impulses (SIs) and sudden storm commencements (SSCs), where in the latter case, the pressure pulse is followed by a geomagnetic storm. Even for small enhancements in solar wind dynamic pressure, the internal magnetospheric effects can be dramatic. Among these effects, observations and modelling suggest: enhancements and restructuring of high latitude ionospheric currents and convection; auroral emission excited by particle precipitation; energisation of the plasmasphere; excitation of magnetospheric current systems; enhanced ULF wave activity; space weather effects such as geomagnetically-induced currents (GICs). In this session we warmly invite contributions based on either observations or modelling of the effects of geomagnetic sudden commencements on the coupled solar wind ? magnetosphere ? ionosphere system. Papers may present results on phenomena including (but not limited to): ULF wave propagation; ionospheric convection; ionospheric and magnetospheric current systems; auroral emission; terrestrial radio emissions; plasmasphere effects; GIC effects. We seek to facilitate cross-over discussion between the observational and modelling communities, and provide fertile ground for future collaborative work in the community./ We look forward to seeing you in Gangwon-do!

This hiatus was due to the fire at the Resolute Bay Observatory (RBO) in September 2022 that destroyed critical radar instrumentation and auxiliary instruments hosted by the RBO. At the moment, RISR-N is operating without continuous site power at RBO, which means that we cannot host auxiliary instrumentation just yet. We are cautiously monitoring the radar operations during these extreme winter months in northern Canada, during which the radar instrumentation and power generators have to endure a cold soak between radar runs. We did run the RISR-N during the recent storm event between Nov 30-Dec 4. Note that owing to the remoteness of the site, the processed data are available a couple of months after the run. Barring any mishap, we are planning to run RISR-N for 7-10 consecutive days per month, and will try to accommodate geomagnetic activity predictions and experiment requests. Please reach out to me if you have specific experiment request (ideally by the 25th of the previous month) for RISR-N. In absence of specific requests, we will run a generic mode that spans both E- and F-region with a reasonable spatial resolution.

Abstract submission deadline is on 2 January 2024. Session description: The space climate in the Sun-Earthsystem can be considered as the expected average behavior?of the solar windand IMF, geomagnetic field, ionosphere, thermosphere and geomagneticallyinduced current (GIC). Space weather is the unexpected short-term changes inthe above phenomena. Space weather originates from the Sun as solar eruptions(coronal mass ejections ? CMEs, and flares) and coronal holes. CMEs whileflowing through the interplanetary space become interplanetary CMEs (or ICMEs),producing large changes in the interplanetary space such as shocks and solarenergetic particle (SEP) events. The fast solar wind originating from coronalholes interact with the slow wind ahead, forming corotating interaction regions(CIRs).? The interaction of the ICMEs andCIRs with the Earth?s magnetosphere through magnetic reconnection leads towave-particle interactions, intense radiation belts, large currents in themagnetosphere and ionosphere, geomagnetic storms/activities, intense auroras,ionosphere-thermosphere storms, large geomagnetically induced currents (GICs),etc. Sometimes space weather becomes severe resulting in extensive societal andeconomic disturbances in the high-tech society by damaging satellite systems,electric power grids, rail-way traffic systems, oil and gas metal pipelines,etc. For example, if a space weather event similar to the 1859 Carrington eventoccurs at the present time, it can cause damages costing up to (estimated) 1-2trillion US Dollars.?This session invites contributionson all aspects of space weather studies using ground- and space-basedobservations, theory and modelling.??

The abstract submission deadline is January 2, 2024. *********************************************************************** Session Description: Earth's ecosystems and human activities are threatened by a broad spectrum of hazards of major importance for the safety of ground infrastructures, space systems and space flight: solar activity, atmospheric and climatic disturbances, space weather, earthquakes, changes in the geomagnetic field, fluctuations of the global electric circuit. Monitoring and understanding these major hazards to better predict and mitigate their effects is one of the greatest scientific and operational challenges of the 21st century. Since these diverse hazards all leave specific imprints on the ionosphere and middle-upper atmosphere (IMUA) and the Magnetosphere-ionosphere-Themersphere coupling system (MIT), they can be detected by means of a global network of instruments monitoring solar activity, interplanetary space, IMUA and MIT. The objective of the International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP), an international cooperative project proposed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is to coordinate the deployment, integration, operation and concurrent data analysis of a global network of this type. In this session, we solicit contributions that deal with ground-based observations to provide systematic solar activity and space weather monitoring, relevant or irrelevant to the IMCP efforts. We particularly welcome presentations describing new observational capabilities as well as potential plans for new facility and instrument deployments, along various latitudinal chains including but not limited to the meridian circles of 120?E-60?W and 30?E-150?W. We also encourage presentations of space missions, theoretical research as well as modelling and advanced data assimilation developments that will enhance the science return from the coordinated global networks of scientific instruments.

Sincerely, Tobias Verhulst, Giorgiana De Franceschi, Lindsay Goodwin Session G09: ?The role of integrated research infrastructure and e-infrastructure for upper atmospheric studies? *The knowledge of the upper atmosphere and plasmasphere physics is significantly advancing thanks to the adoption of multi-instrumental observational and modelling approaches that combine information acquired by scientific, commercial, and military technologies and equipment. In this context, there is an urgent need to establish common frameworks to provide integrated access points for different types of end users to wide varieties of instruments, data sets and models potentially useful to them. Improving the integration of research infrastructure can be considered at different levels: the integration of observations of different co-located instruments, the integration of sensors into global networks, the integration of observations with models or various models with each other, or, at the highest level, the integration of various data-sets and models into comprehensive databases made available to end-users through a common access point. This also entails the development and implementation of common data formats and standards, data processing methods, APIs, ontologies, etc. This session welcomes contributions dealing with the importance of integrated research infrastructures, according to one or more of the levels described above, to boost the scientific understanding of the upper atmosphere and plasmasphere. The session particularly welcomes contributions related to the interaction with stakeholders coming from private and public sectors, employing scientific data or models in an operational or commercial context. The session welcomes also papers describing efforts already in place or at design level to establish new research infrastructures and e-infrastructure.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sincerely, Lindsay V Goodwin and Gareth W Perry *Session G08: *?Advances in Incoherent Scatter Radars? Ionosphere modelling and forecasting are paramount objectives of research in the field. In this framework, several considerable milestones were reached both through Physics-based models and empirical-climatological studies. Our session will bring together novel concepts for modelling and forecasting the ionosphere, both data-driven and physics-based, with underlying machine learning (ML) and complex dynamical systems methodologies to trigger their fruitful cross-fertilization. The ML approach is recognized to be at the present cutting edge of numerical and big data analysis tools, gleaning a deep understanding of otherwise hidden system behavior from historical records. On the other hand, recognizing the ionosphere as a complex dynamical system structured on many time- and space-scales, intrinsically nonlinear and statistically treated, paves the way to paradigm changes in its dynamical theory. Both approaches can offer superior forecasting capabilities to explore in cooperation. This session is intended to be open to papers that consider new approaches stemming from the foregoing considerations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They address science from the mesosphere to the topside ionosphere and from fundamental plasma physics to space weather research. Recent years have seen advances in operations, technology and data processing that provides a view of an exciting future to come. Coordinated science programmes have meant that global scale questions can be answered with global scale data thanks to the World Day programme. ISR take measurements in conjunction with satellite operations to tackle long-standing problems in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Phased Array designs have emerged, providing greater flexibility and increased data. The most recent advancement is the EISCAT-3D radar, which replaces the traditional dishes on mainland Fennoscandia. This will provide unprecedented, multi scale views of the auroral ionosphere with vast quantities of high-resolution data. The extensive archives of data from the ISR network alongside the new high-resolution data provides opportunities for applying new ways of visualizing and analysing, with lessons to be learnt from related disciplines. The nature of the data may be ripe for analysis with machine learning and other AI techniques. This session welcomes contributions on all aspects of ISR science. In particular we encourage presentations on new capabilities, data handling and analysis techniques that can be applied to ISR data. Coordinated multi-instrument studies and plans for future operations are also welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions Your Sincerely Andrew J.

Abstract submission: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/49723 (the deadline is Wednesday, 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET) ST4.4 - Nowcasting, forecasting, operational monitoring and post-event analysis of the space weather and space climate in the Sun-Earth system Session details: Space Weather (SW) and Space Climate (SC) are collective terms that describe the Sun-Earth system interactions on timescales varying between minutes and decades and include processes at the Sun, in the heliosphere, magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere and at the lower atmosphere. Prediction of the extreme events (forecast and nowcast) and development of the mitigation strategy are vital as the space assets and critical infrastructures, such as communication and navigation systems, power grids, and aviation, are all extremely sensitive to the external environment. A post-event analysis is crucially important for the development and maintenance of numerical models, which can predict extreme SW events to avoid the failure of critical infrastructures. This session aims to address both the current state of the art of SW products and new ideas and developments that can enhance the understanding of SW and SC and their impact on critical infrastructure. We invite presentations on various SW and SC-related activities in the Sun-Earth system: forecast and nowcast products and services; satellite observations; model development, validation, and verification; data assimilation; development and production of geomagnetic and ionospheric indices. Contributions to a cross-discipline and collaborative approach that supports and advances our understanding of SW and SC are encouraged. Talks on SW effects on applications (e.g. on airlines, pipelines and power grids, space flights, auroral tourism, etc.) in the Earth?s environment are also welcomed. Confirmed invited speaker Anja Str?mme (ESA's Swarm Mission Manager, ESRIN) will be delivering a talk on the status of the Swarm mission after 10 years in orbit, dedication to space weather, and the future direction of the mission. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and thank you very much for your attention.

Session Description Technological progress in GNSS brings new GNSS signals with sophisticated features. Researchers got novel GNSS receivers with excellent characteristics and lower noise as a tool to explore the Ionosphere, atmosphere and for interdisciplinary studies. The GNSS signals recorded with high sampling rate have become available for many research teams. New opportunities provided with novel GNSS technologies as a new promising tool for the Atmosphere, Ionosphere and Interdisciplinary explorations are still critically underestimated. GNSS receiver is often a ?black box? for a researcher in geosciences. Can we rely on a certain receiver maker buying its expensive receiver to embed it into a GUARDIAN network? Can the GNSS signals recorded with high sampling rate give us better sensitivity and accuracy in the geophysical explorations? What ionosphere-free combination is better to reconstruct TEC and detect weak ionospheric response of earthquake or tsunami? Today the list of the questions rises along with progress in GNSS technologies. This section is devoted to new theory, methods and GNSS techniques allowing to look beyond the previous limitations in the Earth atmosphere, ionosphere and interdisciplinary geoscience based on new GNSS signals, receivers and GNSS data records of high sampling rate. *We expected that participants provide novel results in following items:* 1) New GNSS signals and new opportunities in the Earth atmosphere and ionosphere sounding; 2) Tropospheric and ionospheric indices and parameters based on measurements of GNSS signals with high sampling rate; 3) Problems and advances in scintillation studies based on GNSS signals; 4) Impact of GNSS hardware and software on accuracy of GNSS sounding methods of geosciences; 5) Modernization of GNSS upper atmospheric real?time disaster information and alert networks and systems taking into account new progress in GNSS technologies; 6) New experimental and data treatment techniques involving measurements of GNSS signals with high sampling rate.

We warmly invite abstracts to our session:/"/*G06: Modeling and forecasting the ionosphere: new ways to cooperate Complex Systems theory and Machine Learning"*. The session description is given below. The deadline for papers submission is 20 January 2024. *G06:* Modeling and forecasting the ionosphere: new ways to cooperate Complex Systems theory and Machine Learning *Session Description:* Ionosphere modelling and forecasting are paramount objectives of research in the field. In this framework, several considerable milestones were reached both through Physics-based models and empirical-climatological studies. Our session will bring together novel concepts for modelling and forecasting the ionosphere, both data-driven and physics-based, with underlying machine learning (ML) and or complex dynamical systems methodologies to trigger their fruitful cross-fertilization. The ML approach is recognized to be at the present cutting edge of numerical and big data analysis tools, gleaning a deep understanding of otherwise hidden system behavior from historical records. On the other hand, recognizing the ionosphere as a complex dynamical system structured on many time- and space-scales, intrinsically nonlinear and statistically-treated, paves the way to paradigm changes in its dynamical theory. Both approaches can offer superior forecasting capabilities to explore in cooperation. This session is intended to be open to papers that consider new approaches stemming from the foregoing considerations. Find more details at https://www.atrasc.com/papersubmission.php.

The event is open for both entry-level and experienced scientists with interests in securing top-quality ionosphere specifications as the "ground truth" reference for a variety of comparative investigations. The number of seats is limited to 30 to ensure an interactive, efficient course environment. The tutorial organizers provided the following description and agenda: This full-day tutorial aims at introducing participants to interpreting ionograms and scaling various ionospheric characteristics from them. The intended audience comprises both early career scientists new to the field, as well as more experienced scientists who may be using ionosonde data and would like to better understand how it is processed. At the end of the day, participants will have a basic understanding of how to obtain the most important characteristics from ionograms. Participants will also gain an understanding of the difficulties and uncertainties associated with such data. In the morning part, the basic rules for obtaining standard characteristics from quiet-time, undisturbed ionograms will be discussed. In the afternoon, the effects of sporadic layers, spread-F conditions, and various TID-induced distortions to the normal ionogram shapes will be covered. Both parts will include presentations as well as practical sessions during which participants will analyse some ionograms. Participants are requested to bring their own laptop with SAO-Explorer installed (freely downloadable), for use during the practical part.
