2012 URSI National Meeting: Boulder, Colorado, January 4-7, 2012

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 energetic radiation from
lightning electrical processes. 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 23, 2011.

 

The web page http://www.nrsmboulder.org contains general information along
with abstract submission instructions and guidelines. To submit an abstract,

Travel funding is available for many students presenting papers as a first
author. Completed applications for the USNC-URSI Student Travel Support
program are also due on Friday, September 23. Please see
