Fourth Announcement 

Workshop on C/NOFS Results and Equatorial Dynamics 
May 18-20, 2010

The C/NOFS Science Workshop will be held May 18 - 20, 2010 at the Beaver Run
Conference Center in Breckenridge, Colorado.  Primary objective of this
meeting is to address questions related to the dynamics of the equatorial
ionosphere, how it is driven from above by the solar wind and from below by
the troposphere and mesosphere.  This unusually quiet solar minimum has
provided a unique opportunity to study the equatorial ionosphere.  Results
from the C/NOFS satellite, as well as other ground and space instruments
such as RAIDS, will be presented.
