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.

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 10th 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 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.

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.

In particular, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is becoming an increasingly popular destination for new missions. There are many advantages of utilizing the LEO orbit, such as the relatively low launch costs, close proximity to the Earth ? crucial for studying the atmosphere-ionosphere system, as well as for geomagnetic field observations ? and a more rapid turnover of spacecraft which allows to keep up with state-of-the-art technology. The LEO orbit is now home to over 3000 satellites, and the total number of spacecraft is set to substantially increase in the following years. The LEO missions have provided enormous volumes of data, and offer unprecedented opportunities for transforming our knowledge of various regions and processes within the geospace./ /This session focuses on the analysis and interpretation of new data sets collected by LEO satellites, including CubeSats, and their possible use for modeling and applications related to Space Weather. We invite contributions that analyze the ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere system, effects of particle precipitation, and geomagnetic field measurements, among other topics. Studies using both in-situ and remote sensing observations are encouraged. This session is also open to exploring novel data sets that were previously inaccessible, including commercial data recently released to the public, as well as data sets where scientific applications arose as unintended by-products of other analyses.

We encourage you to submit an abstract to this session by the abstract deadline of February 9, 2024. Session description: The space weather of the Earth?s middle and upper atmospheres is characterized by variability across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The variability encompasses spatial scales from meters to global scale variations, and minute to decadal time scales. Such a range of scales makes predicting the variability of the middle and upper atmosphere challenging. This session solicits presentations focused on the application of numerical models and observations to characterize and understand middle and upper atmosphere variability, with the ultimate goal of improving the predictability of this region. Topics of particular interest include the response of the ionosphere-thermosphere to forcing from above and below, the effect of atmospheric waves and composition changes on the middle-upper atmosphere, improved specifications of solar and magnetospheric forcing of the middle-upper atmosphere, and the chemical and dynamical response of the middle atmosphere to solar and magnetospheric forcing.

Please consider to submit a paper to session G01 : Advances in Monitoring, Modelling and Forecasting of Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillation (see abstract below) Please visit the conference website [1] and submit your abstract to our session by January 20, 2024. Looking forward to receiving your contribution, _Luca Spogli, Marcio Muella, Daria Kotova, Eurico De Paula_ Abstract This session addresses the dynamics of ionospheric irregularities and their influence on radio wave propagation, particularly scintillation. These irregularities represent fluctuations in plasma density compared to background values and span a wide range of scales, from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Their formation results from a complex interplay of ionospheric dynamical processes, including electrodynamical phenomena, transport processes, instabilities, and turbulence, which are driven and influenced by Space Weather events and interactions with the neutral atmosphere. The implications of ionospheric irregularities are profound, presenting significant challenges to modern radio systems. This is especially critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), where precision, availability, continuity, and integrity are essential. Additionally, high-frequency (HF), very high-frequency (VHF), and ultra-high-frequency (UHF) radio communications, reliant on ionospheric reflection and refraction, are susceptible to these irregularities. The session focuses on recent advancements in modelling, diagnostic measurements, and prediction/forecasting techniques to better comprehend the underlying processes governing ionospheric irregularities, their dynamic evolution, and spatial characteristics. We also encourage contributions that investigate the impact of scintillation on GNSS signals and radio communications, satellite-based communication, navigation, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and various other systems, spanning different ionospheric sectors. Furthermore, the session invites papers addressing the latest developments in defining, implementing, standardizing, modelling, and predicting ionospheric perturbation indices and activity scales.

C1.3 Session: Atmospheric and Ionospheric Perturbations at Low, Mid, and High Latitudes from Known Sources Session Description: Natural and man-made phenomena such as geomagnetic storms, eclipses, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tropospheric storms, and explosions generate various atmospheric waves. Some of these waves generate perturbations of measurable magnitudes in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Worldwide observational facilities enable the tracing of the evolution of perturbations, and the development of sophisticated atmosphere-ionosphere coupling models enables the simulation of the propagation of atmospheric waves. However, we do not yet have sufficient knowledge about the dependence of the characteristics of atmospheric and ionospheric perturbations such as the spatial extent, magnitude, and morphology of perturbations on different sources. This session provides an opportunity to discuss recent progress in the study of the generation of atmospheric waves, their propagation, and the ionospheric response to these waves in low, mid, and high latitudes. We welcome the presentation of observations, numerical simulation results, and theoretical studies for known natural and man-made events. Abstract Submission Deadline: 9 February 2024 Submission Guidelines: Please review the guidelines on our conference website (https://www.cospar2024.org/).

The session description is given below. The deadline for abstract submission is this Friday, 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 approaches stemming from the foregoing considerations. Find more details at https://www.atrasc.com/papersubmission.php.

Thank you! Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to draw your attention to the TGCSS.1 session "Small Spacecraft - Big Science" at the 45th COSPAR Scientific Assembly that takes place in Busan, South Korea from 13 - 21 July 2024. We kindly invite you to contribute to the TGCSS.1 session (session description below) and submit an abstract before the deadline February 9, 2024. Submission details may be found here: https://www.cospar2024.org/. Sincerely, Drs. Daniel Baker and Amal Chandran Session Title: Small Spacecraft - Big Science The Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) in 2019 established a new Task Group to develop an 'actionable' plan for an international constellation of small satellites. It was suggested that a particularly useful constellation would be one that measures the plasma conditions in the ionosphere, with sufficient measurement density to substantially improve space weather forecasts. The COSPAR team, known formally as the Task Group on establishing a Constellation of Small Satellites (TGCSS), began its deliberative work in early March of 2020. In addition to detailing the key science objectives for this program, the Task Group members agreed to start addressing several implementation issues and concerns. The Task Group members have recognized two important and distinct aspects of the COSPAR Action Plan. One branch of activity should be geared toward harnessing and taking good advantage of what international COSPAR adherents already are doing in the smallsat realm. By identifying and orchestrating such efforts, COSPAR is able to perform a worthwhile service to the space community and the nations of the world. The other aspect of this plan is to build capacity amongst nations and institutions that presently have little (or no) space involvement or experience. By bringing more developing nations to the "space exploration table', COSPAR will greatly increase and benefit the entire space enterprise. In the spirit of moving into the implementation phase, this session will cover topics directly related to the identified mission concepts and allow participating teams to build connections: 1. Recommended payload options and calibration. 2. Reference spacecraft system design concepts and lessons learned. 3. Data aggregation, dissemination, and analysis concepts. 4. Supporting ground systems, testing recommendations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Looking forward to receiving your contribution, (and sorry for possible cross-posting) Geoff Crowley, David Altadill, Anna Belehaki, Sivakandan Mani *Abstract*: Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) are plasma density fluctuations that propagate as waves through the ionosphere at a wide range of velocities and frequencies and play an important role in the exchange of momentum and energy between various regions of the upper atmosphere. TIDs are the ionospheric manifestation of internal atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) in the neutral atmosphere and are associated with auroral and geomagnetic activity and with lower atmosphere phenomena of non-space origin (e.g., severe tropospheric convection or passages of cold fronts, seismicity, volcanic activity, and artificially triggered events such as explosions). The exact physical mechanisms of TIDs formation, the trigger mechanisms, the basic properties and parameters of TIDs and their propagation direction from the source, how they dissipate with distance and how background ionospheric conditions affect their propagation, have still not been fully characterized or understood. Nevertheless, it is confirmed that TIDs constitute a threat for operational systems that use simple predictions of ionospheric characteristics and especially in ground-based and aerospace applications. The session invites contributions on TIDs identification and tracking experiments and methodologies, on models for nowcasting and forecasting TIDs and corresponding ionospheric weather services, descriptions of operational issues caused by TIDs, and possible mitigation technologies able to prevent degradation of the applications concerned. -- --------------------------------------------------------- Dr. David Altadill Observatori de l?Ebre (Universitat Ramon Llull - CSIC).

Some of the outstanding scientific questions within atmospheric and space physics, are: 1. How are different atmospheric layers coupled in the polar regions? 2. How does the upper polar atmosphere, i.e., mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere, respond to increased geomagnetic activity, including energy transfer from space? 3. How does the whole polar atmosphere impact short- and long-term climate variations? Answering these questions will not only have implications on the understanding of processes in the polar atmosphere, but it will also greatly improve our understanding of the global atmospheric dynamics. We welcome contributions that help to answer the outstanding scientific questions related to the whole-atmosphere coupling, space weather influences and whole atmosphere response to climate change. We also welcome presentation and discussion of existing and planned instrumentation at high-latitudes and space-borne sensors.

Given below is a message from the divisional director of the Atmospheric and Geospace Science (AGS) Division in Geoscience directorate at the U.S. National Science Foundation. Sincerely, Dr. Shikha Raizada (She, her, hers) Program Director Aeronomy GEO/AGS U.S. National Science Foundation ************************************************************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, Happy New Year. The Atmospheric and Geospace Science (AGS) Division in the Geoscience (GEO) Directorate at the National Science Foundation (NSF) has exciting news to share with you that is based on feedback from the GEO research community. AGS has realigned itself into three Clusters comprised of the Atmosphere Cluster (AC), Geospace Cluster (GC), and Infrastructure Cluster (IC). In recognition of this alignment, the traditional Section Head positions have been dissolved and a new Deputy Division Director (DDD) position has been created. Dr. David J. Verardo will serve as Acting Deputy Division Director (DDD) starting January 28, 2024, while a search is conducted for a permanent DDD: USAJOBS - Job Announcement. Dr. Verardo is available (dverardo at nsf.gov) to answer questions. This new organizational structure aims to maintain AGS's ongoing investments in disciplinary-based research while further lowering barriers to cross-disciplinary collaboration and increasing transparency among scientific disciplinaries. This change aligns with the goals of NSF and GEO that reflect the trans-disciplinary nature of science as it is increasingly conducted today in the research community. Please be assured that AGS aims to maintain its support for disciplinary-based research while creating room for new opportunities for interdisciplinary research that stretch intellectual bounds within AGS, the GEO directorate, and beyond. Additional information will be forthcoming on a regular basis through our AGS newsletter, website, and other means of communication. Our internal operations will evolve as we experience the impacts of the realignment and assess the changing needs of the research community. We appreciate your patience as we move forward.

C1.2 Session: COUPLING PROCESSES OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE-IONOSPHERE-THERMOSPHERE SYSTEM IN THE FORMATION OF VARIOUS AURORAS Session Description: Aurora is the manifestation of the external energy deposition into the Earth?s upper atmosphere in the polar region, and the aurora observed by our naked eyes is the visible form of the currently developing space weather. Aurora was initially understood as the upper atmospheric manifestation of various magnetospheric processes in the visible frequency range, but later people realized that the formation and evolution of aurora are strongly affected by the state of the upper atmosphere, especially, the ionosphere. Therefore, it is a result of not only the physical processes within the magnetosphere but also the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling processes. This session invites studies of the development of various forms of aurora in the polar upper atmosphere in association with the state of the ionosphere and thermosphere as well as with magnetospheric processes. Abstract Submission Deadline: 9 February 2024 Submission Guidelines: Please review the guidelines on our conference website (https://www.cospar2024.org/). Thank you for your anticipated contribution, and we look forward to your active involvement in the C1.2 session.

Please consider to submit a paper to session G01: Advances in Monitoring, Modelling and Forecasting of Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillation (see abstract below). Please visit the conference website [1] (https://www.atrasc.com/home.php) and submit your abstract. Looking forward to receiving your contribution, _Luca Spogli, Marcio Muella, Daria Kotova, Eurico De Paula_ Abstract This session addresses the dynamics of ionospheric irregularities and their influence on radio wave propagation, particularly scintillation. These irregularities represent fluctuations in plasma density compared to background values and span a wide range of scales, from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Their formation results from a complex interplay of ionospheric dynamical processes, including electrodynamical phenomena, transport processes, instabilities, and turbulence, which are driven and influenced by Space Weather events and interactions with the neutral atmosphere. The implications of ionospheric irregularities are profound, presenting significant challenges to modern radio systems. This is especially critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), where precision, availability, continuity, and integrity are essential. Additionally, high-frequency (HF), very high-frequency (VHF), and ultra-high-frequency (UHF) radio communications, reliant on ionospheric reflection and refraction, are susceptible to these irregularities. The session focuses on recent advancements in modelling, diagnostic measurements, and prediction/forecasting techniques to better comprehend the underlying processes governing ionospheric irregularities, their dynamic evolution, and spatial characteristics. We also encourage contributions that investigate the impact of scintillation on GNSS signals and radio communications, satellite-based communication, navigation, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and various other systems, spanning different ionospheric sectors. Furthermore, the session invites papers addressing the latest developments in defining, implementing, standardizing, modelling, and predicting ionospheric perturbation indices and activity scales.

TIDs are the ionospheric manifestation of internal atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) in the neutral atmosphere and are associated with auroral and geomagnetic activity and with lower atmosphere phenomena of non-space origin (e.g., severe tropospheric convection or passages of cold fronts, seismicity, volcanic activity, and artificially triggered events such as explosions). The exact physical mechanisms of TIDs formation, the trigger mechanisms, the basic properties and parameters of TIDs and their propagation direction from the source, how they dissipate with distance and how background ionospheric conditions affect their propagation, have still not been fully characterized or understood. Nevertheless, it is confirmed that TIDs constitute a threat for operational systems that use simple predictions of ionospheric characteristics and especially in ground-based and aerospace applications. The session invites contributions on TIDs identification and tracking experiments and methodologies, on models for nowcasting and forecasting TIDs and corresponding ionospheric weather services, descriptions of operational issues caused by TIDs, and possible mitigation technologies able to prevent degradation of the applications concerned.

Selected candidates will be working with Dr. Paulo Roberto Fagundes and Dr. Marcio Tadeu de Assis Honorato Muella, researchers at the ?Universidade do Vale do Paraiba-UNIVAP?, Brazil. This project is funded by the Funda??o de Amparo ? Pesquisa do Estado de S?o Paulo (FAPESP), Brazil. The positions are for 12 months/year, with an initial term appointment of one year (12 months), renewable depending on satisfactory performance. We anticipate that the joining date will be no later than May 2024, but an earlier joining will be considered. Our research group has a strong international presence and the UNIVAP is located in Sao Jose dos Campos, the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The project aims to explore the spatio-temporal electrodynamics of ionospheric, thermosphere-ionosphere coupling, and space weather phenomena within the context of the 24th and 25thsolar cycles, using experimental data from GPS-TEC, ionosondes, all-sky imaging photometers, Fabry-Perot interferometers, magnetometers, and satellite data in the American, African, European and Asian sectors. The objective is to study several aspects of the ionosphere's seasonal, day-to-day, and diurnal changes at a global level as a function of the sun's cycle (F-layer, E-layer, and sporadic E-layer). The most relevant scientific topics that will be investigated are the generation and evolution of medium and large-scale ionospheric irregularities, electrodynamics of the E-layer and sporadic E-layer, the response of the ionosphere during solar flares and geomagnetic storms, propagation of TIDs and MSTIDs, seasonal variation, day-to-day and daily variations of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) and E-layer and F-layer stratifications.
