<p class="MsoPlainText">Join us for the <b>2020 Sun-Climate Symposium – </b>sponsored by the Sun-Climate Research Center (SCRC), a joint venture between NASA GSFC and LASP at the University of Colorado. The meeting website,
<a href="http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/sorce/news-events/meetings/2020-scs/">http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/sorce/news-events/meetings/2020-scs/</a>, includes a detailed program description and a list of all presenters. You can also view all of the abstracts,
as well as get the logistical information (hotel, registration, etc.). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span style="color:blue">Symposium overview:</span></b><span style="color:blue"> </span>What is the quiet Sun?
<span style="color:teal"> </span>Is it a time-invariant base level or is there secular variability in the Sun’s radiative output?
<span style="color:teal"> </span>What do those alternate scenarios imply for Earth-climate responses?
<span style="color:teal"> </span>The current solar minimum provides an opportunity to answer these and related questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Observations of the Sun and Earth from space have revolutionized our view and understanding of how solar variability and other natural and anthropogenic forcings impact Earth’s atmosphere and climate. For more than four decades
the total and spectral solar irradiance and global terrestrial atmosphere and surface have been observed continuously, providing unprecedented high-quality data for Sun-climate studies. The 2020 Sun-Climate Symposium will convene experts from across the solar-terrestrial
community, including the disciplines of climate research, atmospheric physics and chemistry, heliophysics, and metrology, to discuss solar and climate observations and models over both spacecraft-era and historical timescales.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The deadline for group rate <b>Marriott accommodations is Friday, Dec. 27,</b> and the
<b>early-bird registration is Friday, Jan. 3.</b> We encourage your participation and hope that you will share this announcement with colleagues. Please join us!<o:p></o:p></p>
