2011 URSI National Meeting: Boulder, Colorado, January 5-8, 2011

Joint session organized by Commissions G and H:  Lightning and its  
Interaction with the Ionosphere

This session will cover all aspects of coupling between lightning and  
the ionosphere/thermosphere/mesosphere system, and intense
electromagnetic emissions from lightning.  Papers are solicited on
experimental and theoretical results in studies of energetic 
coupling of tropospheric thunderstorms to the mesospheric and  
ionospheric regions.  Contributions on sprites, jets, elves,  
terrestrial gamma ray flashes, and related electromagnetic effects  
are welcome, as are those on related topics, such as the local and  
global effects of these processes, the characteristics of lightning  
responsible for these phenomena, and other related nonlinear  
electromagnetic wave/ionosphere interactions.

The DEADLINE for online submission of abstracts is SEPTEMBER 24, 2010.
