Re: COSPAR-20-PSW.3 session: "Nowcast and Forecast on Ionospheric Indices
and Related Scales for Space Weather Services."

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention and encourage you to submit an
abstract to a session entitled:

"Nowcast and Forecast on Ionospheric Indices and Related Scales for Space
Weather Services,"  COSPAR-20-PSW.3,

at the upcoming 43rd COSPAR Scientific Assembly in Sydney, Australia, Aug
15-22nd, 2020. https://www.cospar2020.org/

The session will include discussion of ionospheric indices having a high
potential to fulfill user requirements in particular in safety of life
(SoL) and precise positioning applications shall be continued in a more
concretized form than we could do at the 42nd COSPAR assembly.  Initiated
studies shall be reviewed and conclusions shall be drawn which indices are
considered as potentially applicable for selected use cases. In order to
judge the suitability, specification of user needs for various applications
are required from customers. Therefore, intensification of the dialog
between ionospheric scientists and customers is encouraged. Best practice
experience obtained in weather/ionospheric weather services should be
presented. Being aware that forecasts of the expected behavior of indices
used by customers require intensive scientific research in the context of
overall space weather processes, related scientific work should be
discussed to enable or further improve forecasting of ionospheric indices.
Therefore, contributions from SW experts covering all other fields of space
weather are encouraged. Progress on the development of an Ionospheric Scale
related to the indices is also encouraged.

Following the two half-day formal sessions a short 2 hour side meeting will
discuss the future steps required to develop an Ionospheric Scale,
targeting ionospheric impacts on Space Weather operations, similar to NOAA
R, S, and G Scales currently used internationally.

Sincerely,
Session Conveners: Norbert Jakowski and Tim Fuller-Rowell
