CEDAR email: CEDAR Virtual Workshop: Status and Needs For Thermospheric Winds

[Dandenault, Patrick B.]

Dear CEDAR colleagues,

We have scheduled a CEDAR (virtual) Workshop focused on ‘Status and Needs For Thermospheric Winds’ on Thursday, June 25th, from 3-5 PM EDT. The full details of the two-hour workshop are shown below. We are looking for folks to give a presentation that may range from 5 minutes to 15 minutes in length, at any level of expertise.  Please feel free to discuss your very latest state-of-the-art findings, or simply feel free to practice public speaking.

We will send out the technical details for the virtual workshop next week.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards-
Pat Dandenault

Workshop Title:  Current Status and Needs For 21st Century Thermospheric Dynamics Measurements:  The 2019-2020 Thermospheric Winds SWOT Analysis.
Date:  Thursday, June 25th
Time:  3:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT   /   1:00 PM - 3:00 PM MDT

Conveners:     Dr. Patrick Dandenault, JHU/APL, patrick.dandenault at jhuapl.edu
                        Dr. Sovit Khadka, NJIT, khadka at njit.edu
Dr. Brian Harding, SSL Berkeley, bharding at ssl.berkeley.edu
Dr. Steve Kaeppler, Clemson University, skaeppl at clemson.edu

Description:  The purpose of this 2-year workshop series, which started at CEDAR 2019, is to bring together various experimental and modeling stakeholders interested in advancing our understanding of thermospheric winds and their variability. To wit, we seek to perform a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis on our current understanding of thermospheric winds. Such an analysis requires 1) a review of our current understanding of thermospheric winds, 2) the identification of needed measurements, 3) identification of unanswered problems, and 4) assessment of closure in the next 10-years. The workshops will be organized to produce a community-accessible traceability matrix associated with this SWOT analysis.

The timing of this workshop is well suited for ongoing spacecraft operations and measurements of the thermospheric system, particularly from the NASA GOLD and ICON missions.
