Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
After a successful CEDAR session, in which many different ideas were
discussed, we will have a follow-up session at the upcoming AGU
meeting. Please consider submitting an abstract to this session and
actively participate in the discussion that follows. The abstract
submission deadline is August 6. The session description is given
below. <br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Session Title:
<div class="item"> <b>Upper atmospheric research through
ground-based networked instrumentation</b>
</div>
<div class="item">
<div class="itemtitle">Session Description:</div>
Observations of the upper atmosphere using ground-based networked
instrumentation allow multiple locations to be monitored
simultaneously to capture system dynamics on a large scale. When
these networks are established for an extended period of time, the
data can be examined for temporal patterns as well as being
available for random events such as large solar disturbances,
which are less likely to be measured in a short-term campaign. In
aeronomy and magnetospheric sciences, such networks provide the
insight and validation required to understand global-scale
processes such as TIDs, the transport of energy during storm
periods, vertical coupling between different atmospheric regions,
along with associated global-scale variability. In this session,
we will explore recent results from existing networked
instrumentation, discuss the science enabled by observations of
large-scale processes, brainstorm new observational networks, and
invite the modeling community to put forth the type of large-scale
observations required to improve their research. </div>
