CEDAR email: Call for Papers on VarSITI Special Issue in JASTP (deadline: Nov. 30, 2019)

[SHIOKAWA, Kazuo]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of guest editors, I would like to invite you to submit papers to the Special Issue of Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact (VarSITI) Completion Symposium 2019 in Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP).  The symposium was held on June 10-14, 2019 at Sofia, Bulgaria. Because this special issue is one of the summarizing activities of the 5-year VarSITI program (2014-2018), we also welcome submission of papers from those who made presentation at the SCOSTEP's STP-14 conference (July 9-13, 2018, Toronto, Canada), and also from scientists who did not join these two symposiums.

The VarSITI program (http://www.varsiti.org/) was the 5-year international program of SCOSTEP (Scientific Committee On Solar-TErrestrial Physics) in 2014-2018.  VarSITI focused on the recent and expected future solar activity and its consequences for the Earth, for various time scales from the order of thousands years to milliseconds, and for various locations and their connections from the solar interior to the Earth’s atmosphere.  Four Scientific Projects were carried out under the VarSITI program: (1) Solar Evolution and Extrema (SEE), (2) International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST/MiniMax24), (3) Specification and Prediction of the Coupled Inner-Magnetospheric Environment (SPeCIMEN), and (4) Role Of the Sun and the Middle atmosphere / thermosphere / ionosphere In Climate (ROSMIC).  These four projects were carried out in collaboration with relevant satellite and ground-based missions as well as modeling efforts to facilitate the implementation of these 
 projects.  The special issue welcomes new and interdisciplinary scientific results related to this 5-year VarSITI program.
