<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b>Workshop on C/NOFS
Results and Equatorial Dynamics <br>
May 18-20, 2010<br>
<br>
</b><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The C/NOFS Science Workshop will be held May 18 - 20, 2010
at the Beaver Run Conference Center in Breckenridge, Colorado. Primary
objective of this meeting is to address questions related to the dynamics of
the equatorial ionosphere, how it is driven from above by the solar wind and
from below by the troposphere and mesosphere. This unusually quiet solar
minimum has provided a unique opportunity to study the equatorial ionosphere.
Results from the C/NOFS satellite, as well as other ground and space instruments
such as RAIDS, will be presented. <o:p></o:p></p>
