note that the abstract deadline for the 2010 Fall AGU is September 2,
2010. To continue the momentum and excitement of the Science that is
coming out from the recently deployed instruments and from the flyby LEO
satellite data over Africa, we encourage you to send an abstract to Special
Session SA08. Detail description of the special session is shown below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:blue'>Satellite observations show unique equatorial ionospheric
structures in the African sector, such as enhanced generation of F-region plasma
irregularities and scintillations. For many years, these have not been
confirmed or studied in detail by observations from the ground due to lack of
ground-based instrumentation in the region. During the past few years, through
the UN sponsored International Heliophysical Year (IHY) program, a significant
number of instruments have been deployed and simultaneous observations (from
the ground and space) became possible. This session attempts to understand the
sequence of cause and effect relationships by including data analysis and
theory/modeling papers that address all aspects of the unique ionospheric
electrodynamics in the African sector. While emphasizing recent progress and
outstanding issues in the dynamics of the equatorial electrodynamics in the
African sector, we welcome any papers that shed light on relevant physical
processes and comparisons with other longitudinal sectors. Both modeling and
observational results are welcome. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
