 From Tomoko Matsuo <tomoko.matsuo at colorado.edu>.

This joint workshop will be held primarily for the benefit of students but also 
anyone who is interested in learning basics of data assimilation and space 
science applications.  The basics of data assimilation will be presented 
step-by-step, how each component (model, observation, principles of statistical 
inference such as Bayes's rule, covariances etc) works together to yield an 
optimal analysis.  We will offer *three* 30-minute tutorial presentations that 
cover different DA applications in space sciences, ranging from the ionosphere 
and high-latitude ionospheric electrodynamics to the radiation belt.

(2) Announcement of the fifth issue of the CAWSES-II TG4 newsletter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Michi NISHIOKA <nishioka at stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp>.

The fifth CAWSES-II TG4 newsletter is issued. It can be downloaded from
the CAWSES-II Wiki page at
http://www.cawses.org/wiki/images/4/4f/TG4_newsletter_issue5.pdf

The purpose of this newsletter is to make more communications among
scientists related to the CAWSES-II Task Group 4 (particularly between
those of the atmosphere and the ionosphere). The editors would like to
invite you to submit the following articles to the TG4 newsletter. Our
newsletter has four categories of the articles:

# Articles: ~500 words and four figures (maximum)-----on campaign, ground 
observations, satellite observations, modeling, workshop/conference/symposium 
report, etc
# Highlights on young scientists:  ~200 words and two figures-----on his/him own 
work related to CAWSES-TG4
# Short news: ~100 words-----announcements of campaign, workshop, etc
# List of planned workshop

Category 2 (Highlights on young scientists) helps both young scientists
and TG4 members to know each other. Please contact the editors for
recommendation of young scientists who are willing to write an article
on this category. Your suggestions and comments on this newsletter are
also very welcome.
