2nd Announcement and Call for Abstracts
14th International Ionospheric Effects Symposium
IES2015
12-14 May, 2015

“Bridging the gap between applications and research involving ionospheric
and space
weather disciplines”

Dear IES Friends and Colleagues:

       IES2015 is scheduled for May 12-14, 2015 in Alexandria, Virginia, an
historic
town near Washington DC. Ionospheric Effects Symposia have been held in
Alexandria
since 1975, and IES2015 is the fourteenth in the series being conducted for
the first
time by Boston College following the tradition of IES founder and longtime
organizer,
Mr. John Goodman. Please visit the symposium web site for more details
(http://ies2015.bc.edu). IES2015 offers an opportunity for scientists,
engineers, and
program managers to review current activities and solutions to system
impacts of
ionospheric phenomena and space weather events.

        You are cordially invited to submit a paper abstract/title to the
organizers of
IES2015, intended for Oral presentation and/or Poster presentation at the
symposium.
Paper submission forms are available from the site. The current deadline
for receipt of
abstracts is December 15, 2015. Please monitor the web site for any
deadline changes.
Sample topics include the following:

• Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) measurements and applications
• Ionospheric irregularities and radio wave scintillations
• Active ionospheric modification effects (high power radio waves, chemical
and other
      techniques)
• Modeling, forecasting and prediction systems
• Lower atmosphere effects including gravity waves, tides and  sudden
stratospheric
      warming events
• Radio occultation sensing techniques and applications
• Effects on HF propagation
• Space-Weather and ionospheric effects on telecommunication and satellite
systems
• Current solar cycle phenomena and impact on operational systems
• Applications of ground- and space-based ionospheric tomography
• Impact of global electrodynamics on the storm-time ionosphere
• Modeling, measurement and prediction of solar processes and resulting
impacts on the
       ionosphere
• Satellite-based observations, modeling and calibration
• Ionospheric effects on SBAS, GBAS and other systems supporting aviation
• Optical effects and remote sensing
• Effects of solar noise bursts and environmental noise on
telecommunication and
      navigation systems
• Impacts on HF surveillance and communication systems including
geolocation and
      coordinate registration
• Longwave propagation systems and effects
• Space-Weather program activities having relevance to ionospheric effects
on C3I and
      navigation systems
• Products and services offered by industry relevant to prediction &
forecasting of
      ionospheric effects
• Government projects associated with the forecasting and/or mitigation of
deleterious
      effects on national and/or military systems

We sincerely hope to see you at IES2015 and we look forward to continuing
the
unparalleled success of this ionospheric community event. If you have
questions or need
information not found on the website please contact us directly at
IES2015 at bc.edu.

With best regards,
