(1b) ISEA13 Session S6: Ionospheric storms and Space weather effects at low and
mid latitudes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Naomi Maruyama <Naomi.Maruyama at noaa.gov>.
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention the session S6 on "Ionospheric storms and
Space weather effects at low and mid latitudes" in the 13th International
Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy, scheduled to be held at Paracas, Peru, during
12-17 March 2012. Detailed abstract of the session is given below. We would like
to take this opportunity to inform you to consider submitting an abstract to
this session that relate to all aspects of the responses of the equatorial-,
low-, and mid-latitude ionosphere to the space weather effects during both quiet
and disturbed conditions. We expect that there will be lively discussions on the
various aspects of the ionospheric processes ranging from storm time responses
to scintillations in this session.
The deadline for submission of an abstract is approaching: Nov 30.
To submit an abstract, visit the website:

Thank you,
H. Takahashi, D. Pallamraju, N. Maruyama
(Conveners)
Response of the equatorial-, low-, and mid-latitude ionosphere to geomagnetic
storms is extremely complex and calls for focused attention addressing the
consequences of various space weather effects. During geomagnetic storms, time
varying magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere interactions at high latitudes
cause a host of disturbances, such as, large scale traveling
atmospheric/ionospheric disturbances, under/overshielding and disturbance dynamo
electric fields, and dramatic variations in the total electron content. All
these show global scale signatures, and do have a great influence on
ionosphere/thermosphere at mid-, low-, and equatorial latitudes, which could
also result in the generation of plasma irregularities. Human activities today
depend so much on the high technology applications in the near earth space, such
as satellite operations, aviations, radio wave communications, and Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning, and the accuracies in these
measurements are adversely affected by the gradients in electron contents and
plasma irregularities. Thus, experimental, theoretical, and modeling efforts are
all extremely essential for improving our understanding of the
ionospheric/thermospheric disturbances at all latitudes during geomagnetic
storms and substorms. Recent progress in space-based (TIMED, CHAMP, COSMIC,
C/NOFS), and ground-based (Radars, GNSS receivers, optical sensors, magnetometer
chains) observations has allowed us to diagnose space weather effects in
geospace. Furthermore, advancement in theory and modeling efforts help us
elucidate the underlying physics in the observations. Specific topics to be
discussed in this session are: (1) Storm time variations in ionospheric plasma
and electrodynamics, (2) Prompt penetration and disturbance dynamo contributions
in the storm time electric field, (3) Ionospheric scintillations due to space
weather during both quiet and disturbed conditions, at low and mid-latitudes.
This session, therefore, welcomes presentations of all aspects of the response
of the equatorial-, low-, and mid-latitude ionosphere to the space weather effects.
Keywords:
*Experiment, theory, modeling efforts
* Magnetic storms and substorms
* Disturbance dynamo and promptly penetrated electric fields during the storm
time condition
* Ionospheric plasma variations and electrodynamics during storms
* Space weather effects during quiet times.
* Ionospheric Scintillation during the quiet and disturbed conditions
