CEDAR email: Announcement of MST15 Workshop Session 2 in conjunction with EISCAT Workshop

[Jorge L. Chau (at IAP)]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the Session 2 entitled "New radar/radio systems and future MST plans” at the next MST15 Workshop in Tokyo, Japan  during May 27-31, 2017. The workshop will overlap with the EISCAT Workshop. The description of the session and a copy of the call for papers appear below. Note that the deadline for abstract submission is 15 February 2017.


Looking forward to your participation in MST15 and EISCAT Workshops,

Juha Vierinen and Koki Chau



=================================================
Session M2:
New radar/radio systems and future MST plans 
Session Conveners: Jorge L. Chau and Juha Vierinen
We invite contributions that present newly constructed or planned instrumentation to study the mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, and the lower ionosphere. Submissions can describe new large, medium, and small scale projects and they can also describe planned upgrades to capabilities of existing instruments. Examples of possible contribution topics can include: MST radars, incoherent scatter radars, new rocket and satellite missions, meteor radars, boundary layer radars, wind profilers, ST radars, specular meteor radars, MF radars, LIDARs, airglow imagers, aperture synthesis imaging radars, HF radars, and ionospheric heaters. We also encourage submissions on cross-cutting novel instrumentation plans, which can be used also for MST studies as a secondary purpose, e.g., passive radars, LOFAR, LWA, etc.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The 15th International Workshop on Technical and Scientific Aspects
of MST Radar (MST15/iMST2) will be held at the National Institute
of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan during May 27-31, 2017.
It will overlap with the 18th EISCAT symposium (May 26-30, 2017)
being held at the same venue, and participants of both events can
attend sessions of both meetings.

Abstract submission page for the workshop is now ready. You can
find the information at the MST15/iMST2 web page:
http://www2.rish.kyoto-u.ac.jp/mst15/abstract.html
and also the EISCAT symposium web page:
http://eiscat.nipr.ac.jp/about/18th_eiscat_symposium.html

Deadline of the abstract submission is scheduled on February 15,
2017. Registration and its payment will start in January, 2017.

LOC of both meetings is now seeking funds for travel support for
participants. We will announce procedure for the travel support
in mid January 2017.

We are looking forward to your participation in the workshop and
symposium.

Best Regards,
