<p class="MsoPlainText">We invite you to participate in the <b><a href="http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2019_Workshop:GEM_CEDAR_High_Lat_Modeling_Challenge">GEM-CEDAR Modeling Challenge Session on Conductivities and High-Latitude Ionosphere-Thermosphere
Coupling</a></b>. This session will take place at <b>1:30–3:30 pm on Thursday, June 20</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We will focus on validation of high-latitude magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling, with direct tie-ins to the
<a href="https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/assessment/">International Forum for Space Weather Capabilities Assessment</a> teams for Auroral Region, Neutral Density, and the GEM Conductance Challenge. We will focus on validation of auroral precipitation, high-latitude
ionosphere electrodynamics, and LEO neutral density and orbit determination for several events selected by the GEM Conductance Challenge, AuroraPHILES, and Neutral Density teams:
