To provide focus, the MLT-X Workshop addresses two processes that have profound effects on planetary atmospheres on Earth, as well as other planetary atmospheres; 1) Plasma-neutral atmospheric coupling and 2) wave-induced transport and turbulence. More detail can be found at <a href="http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2014_Workshop:Coupling_and_Transport_Processes">http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2014_Workshop:Coupling_and_Transport_Processes</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This four-year, GC Workshop is in its second year. The first year consisted of talks and discussions surrounding the two focused science questions. Jeff Thayer will summarize those discussions in an opening presentation at this year’s workshop. The focus of this year’s workshop is to consider the necessary measurement scenarios to address the science questions and investigate the existing and planned instrumentation, facilities, and campaigns to advance the science goals of the MLT-X region. Therefore, a broad range of speakers covering lidar, ISR, FPI, imagers, rockets, satellites and field sites has been arranged with time built-in for community input about future campaign prospects and collaborations to advance the science.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please try to attend this important community discussion and provide a voice in the future direction of MLT-X science.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff Thayer, Chet Gardner, and Gary Swenson – Workshop Conveners<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="http://www.colorado.edu/aerospace/thayer_jeffrey.html"><span style='color:blue'>Jeff Thayer, Professor</span></a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Director of the <a href="http://ccar.colorado.edu/"><span style='color:blue'>Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research</span></a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Roubos Engineering Endowed Fellow <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="http://www.colorado.edu/aerospace/"><span style='color:blue'>Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>University of Colorado at Boulder<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>UCB 429, CCAR ECNT 316<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Boulder, Colorado 80309-0429<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Tel: 303-492-1764<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>fax: 303-492-7881<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>email: </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="mailto:jeffrey.thayer@colorado.edu"><span style='color:blue'>jeffrey.thayer@colorado.edu</span></a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
