CEDAR email: Space Weather Observations Network sessions at CEDAR

[William Bristow]

Please join two CEDAR workshops for a discussion of how to best address 
the challenges of predicting space weather in the sessions:

    Space Weather Observations Network: Ionospheric Disturbances -

    Monday 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM

    Tuesday 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

    Room: Mesa B/Hilton

    Space Weather Observations Network: Thermospheric Expansion –

    Tuesday 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM

    Wednesday 1:30 to 3:30

    Room: Mesa B/Hilton

The workshops are an opportunity for the CEDAR community to put forward 
its ideas regarding the instrumentation that is required to enable 
prediction of space weather. The community will be asked to address five 
questions:

1) What are the goals of prediction?(ie., spatial and temporal scales, 
cadence, precision, etc.)

2) What gaps in understanding must be filled to enable predictive 
simulations?

3) What modeling advances are needed for prediction?

4) What observations are necessary to provide the basis for 
understanding and modeling?

5) What instrumentation is necessary to provide those observations?

Each question will be addressed in short presentations followed by 
audience discussion. A list of confirmed speakers follows at the end of 
this email. There will be a Google Document open on the screen for 
editing in real-time to capture the discussions.

We invite contributions of brief (5 minute) thought provoking talks that 
directly address any of the five questions.
