CEDAR email: Special Collection in JGR Space Physics on observations by the NASA GOLD Mission

[Stan Solomon]

Announcing a Special Collection in JGR - Space Physics on observations 
by the NASA GOLD Mission, and related research.

The NASA Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission 
has been measuring the near-Earth space environment since October 2018. 
 From its position in geostationary orbit, GOLD constructs spectral 
images of the thermosphere and ionosphere in the far-ultraviolet, from 
which composition, temperature and electron density can be derived. This 
provides an exciting new perspective on the Earth's upper atmosphere and 
ionosphere, a large-scale synoptic view that allows the separation of 
longitudinal, local time, and universal time responses to geomagnetic 
events, and observations of day-to-day variability due to atmospheric 
waves and tides. This collection provides the first comprehensive study 
of the science that can be developed from these measurements, including 
research papers on initial results, and technical reports describing 
algorithms and data products. GOLD data are publicly available, and 
papers are solicited from the general scientific community that 
contribute synergistic results from other missions, ground-based 
observations, independent analyses, and relevant modeling and simulations.

The Special Collection is now open and accepting papers.  The deadline 
is November 15, 2019.

The Call for Papers can be found at:
