CEDAR email: FALL AGU : SM03 : Dynamical Processes of the Cusp/Polar Cap Ionosphere

[Jøran Moen]

Dear colleagues,

Please note the session on "Dynamical Processes of the Cusp/Polar Cap
Ionosphere", to be held at the upcoming AGU 2010 Fall Meeting, 13–17
December 2010, in San Francisco. Submissions on all aspects of cusp/polar
cap dynamics are welcome, and we are looking forward to an interesting and
fruitful session.

Best regards,
Joran Moen, Keisuke Hosokawa, and Lars Dyrud

AGU Fall Meeting 2010
SM03:	Dynamical Processes of the Cusp/Polar Cap Ionosphere
Sponsor:     SPA-Magnetospheric Physics 
Co-Sponsor:  SPA-Aeronomy

Session Description: The Polar Cap ionosphere is strongly affected by active
solar wind conditions. Coordinated observations, theory and modelling are
needed to decode the complexity of the cusp and polar cap dynamics, relevant
for GNSS and communication systems. Several large scale projects now
complement existing networks such as the RISR and PFISR radars and global
field-aligned current maps from AMPERE. This session focuses on all aspects
of high-latitude dynamics, including micro- and macro-scale physics,
field-aligned currents and flow dynamics, generation of waves,
instabilities, and scintillation phenomena. Topics involving
multi-instrument observations and those relating the plasma physics to the
observational phenomena are particularly welcome.

Abstract submission for the AGU Fall Meeting 2010 is now open. 
Submission deadline of Thursday 2 September 2010. 
Also note that Friday 27 August is the last day to join the AGU in order to
submit an abstract as a member. More details will be posted on the AGU fall
meeting website at http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/.
