Invitation to participate in the CEDAR workshops: Thermospheric wind

>From Yue Deng (yuedeng at uta.edu).

We would like to invite you to participate in the Thermospheric wind
variations and their interaction with the ionosphere
workshop on Tuesday, 24th June at 2014 CEDAR. A full understanding of the behavior of the thermospheric wind
circulation is of fundamental importance to advancing our overall
knowledge of the change of the global thermosphere and ionosphere system
under various geophysical conditions, especially during geomagnetic
storms. However, the changes of the global thermospheric wind
circulation and the way that they affect ionospheric variations are
still poorly understood. This is related in part to the shortage of
global wind observations. Such observations are essential for first
principles modeling of the physical processes that drive the changes of
the winds. This workshop aims to assess our current understanding of the
thermospheric winds, the processes that drive them, and their
interaction with the ionosphere.

The workshop welcomes short, focused presentations, typically comprised
of 5 slices or so of the following topics related to neutral winds in
the upper thermosphere (above ~200 km):solar cycle, seasonal and diurnal
variations; neutral wind structure of different temporal and spatial
scales; storm-time behavior of neutral winds and related ionospheric
effects; the neutral wind dynamo and its variations; transport by
neutral winds including vertical winds; and ion-neutral coupling.
Presentations relating to both observations and modeling are welcome.
