The CEDAR Science Steering Committee solicits workshop session proposals
for the June 24-28 meeting in Seattle, WA <font color=red>DUE FRIDAY,
MARCH 14</font>
via the workshop proposal form
[http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/Special:CEDAR_Workshop_Proposal_Form?yr=2014
on-line].
These sessions should support the goals of the NSF CEDAR program. New
in 2014 is an opportunity to propose a "Grand Challenge Workshop." These
will be high-profile workshops addressing key problems in CEDAR science.
Grand Challenge Workshops selected by the CSSC will receive
higher-capacity rooms
and assigned tutorial speakers in the plenary sessions. Grand Challenge
Workshops
will furthermore run for 2-4 years, depending on the selection by the CSSC.
All sessions should address the science priorities in the field of aeronomy
and space physics for the upcoming decade described by the recent Decadal
Survey for Solar and Space Physics from the National Academy of Sciences
(NAS)
(see http://sites.nationalacademies.org/ssb/currentprojects/ssb_056864
and the [[media:NAS_2012_Decadal_Brief_Report.pdf | NAS Report in
Brief]] and also the [[media:Decadal_CSSC_Briefing_v2.pdf | 2013-2022
Decadal Briefing to the CSSC]]). Sessions should identify a particular
science challenge and outline an approach
to meet it. Successful sessions will address 1) how the associated
questions
will be addressed, 2) what resources exist, are planned, or are needed, and
3) how progress should be measured. The justification for the sessions
should
also relate to the
[http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/Community:CEDAR_Strategic_Plan
on-line final (June 2011) version of the CEDAR strategic plan with the
addendum from November 2013].
Please see further details in the
[http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/Workshop:Guidelines
Guidelines for Workshop Conveners].
Workshop contributors should be apprised of the session goals and
encouraged to contribute directly to the effort. Workshop reports
will be required within 60 days of the end of the workshop and will
be archived on their individual workshop pages on the CEDAR wiki for
the 2014 CEDAR Workshop.

From Sixto Gonzalez <sixto at naic.edu> and Fernando Camilo <fcamilo at

Dear Arecibo users,
Based on our current best estimates, we expect to have the telescope
back in full
operations around mid-March. It's possible that this date will change as
we proceed
further with the repair, and we will keep you informed of any changes.
Fernando Camilo, on behalf of Bob Kerr.

(3) Third Real-Time-IRI Task Force Meeting (Monday, 19 May) and Fourteenth
International GIRO Forum (IGF2014) (20-23 May) at UMass Lowell.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From <Bodo.Reinisch at digisonde.com>.
The Fourteenth International GIRO Forum (IGF2014) will be hosted by Lowell
Digisonde International in cooperation with UMass Lowell’s Center for
Atmospheric
Research. The forum is planned for the period 20-23 May 2014.
During the Forum, on Wednesday afternoon, we will celebrate the Life and
Legacy
of Dr. Klaus Bibl who passed away at age 93 on 20 September 2013.
The “Third Real-Time-IRI Task Force Meeting” will precede the IGF on
Monday,
19 May 2014 at the same venue. Visit http://www.digisonde.com/IGF for
registration, agenda, and more information.

Joint Session Organized by Commissions H, G and E: Ionospheric,
Magnetospheric and High Energy Effects of Lightning
The recent discovery that lightning discharges can cause energetic
radiation, relativistic particles, and transient luminous events has
marked a profound advance in our understanding of the Earth's
atmospheric electrodynamic behavior. This session explores these novel
processes and their impact on the near-Earth environment. The session
solicits contributions that advance knowledge in the areas of the global
atmospheric electric circuit, lightning physics, transient luminous
events, energetic radiation, relativistic particles, and their impact on
the Earth's upper atmosphere and the magnetosphere. Interdisciplinary
studies which emphasize the connection between atmospheric layers and
the relation between lightning-related effects and climate change are
particularly welcome.
One page abstract of 200-500 words is sufficient for submissions of a
manuscript to commission H sessions but authors may submit full papers
of up to 4 pages if they wish to do so. The Commission H requires full
papers for submissions to the Young Scientist and Student paper
competitions.
The DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts, for application for Awards for
Young Scientists, and for Student paper competition is FEBRUARY 15, 2014
The web page http://www.chinaursigass.com/ contains general information
and abstract submission instructions and guidelines.
