CEDAR email: AGU Session SA-3747: Upper Atmospheric Research Through Ground-Based Networked Instrumentation

[Asti Bhatt]

Dear colleagues,

After a successful CEDAR session, in which many different ideas were 
discussed, we will have a follow-up session at the upcoming AGU meeting. 
Please consider submitting an abstract to this session and actively 
participate in the discussion that follows. The abstract submission 
deadline is August 6. The session description is given below.

Thank you,
Asti Bhatt and Elizabeth Kendall

Session Title:
*Upper atmospheric research through ground-based networked instrumentation*
Session Description:
Observations of the upper atmosphere using ground-based networked 
instrumentation allow multiple locations to be monitored simultaneously 
to capture system dynamics on a large scale. When these networks are 
established for an extended period of time, the data can be examined for 
temporal patterns as well as being available for random events such as 
large solar disturbances, which are less likely to be measured in a 
short-term campaign. In aeronomy and magnetospheric sciences, such 
networks provide the insight and validation required to understand 
global-scale processes such as TIDs, the transport of energy during 
storm periods, vertical coupling between different atmospheric regions, 
along with associated global-scale variability. In this session, we will 
explore recent results from existing networked instrumentation, discuss 
the science enabled by observations of large-scale processes, brainstorm 
new observational networks, and invite the modeling community to put 
forth the type of large-scale observations required to improve their 
research.
