CEDAR email: 2021 CEDAR Workshop on Thermospheric Dynamics Measurements

[Khadka, Sovit]

Dear CEDAR community,


We would like to cordially invite you to attend and participate in our 2021
CEDAR workshop session - “Current Status, Needs, and Capabilities for
Thermospheric Dynamics Measurements”. This session will be held virtually
via the Zoom meetings platform on Friday, June 25, 2021, at 1:00 PM - 3:00
PM MDT.


Workshop Description:

The purpose of this 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.


Preliminary Agenda:

   - Anasuya ARULIAH (UCL, UK): Why could there be a difference between FPI
   Doppler shifts and satellite drag measurements of thermospheric winds at
   high-latitudes?
   - John NOTO (CPI): Real time neutral winds from CPI FPIs.
   - Weijia ZHAN (Clemson U.): Altitudinal neutral wind responses in the
   high latitude E region during disturbed conditions.
   - Amal LOUTFI (UCA, Morocco): Thermospheric neutral winds above the
   Oukaimeden Observatory: effects of geomagnetic activity.
   - Jonathan KRALL (NRL): Midnight temperature maximum winds and
   equatorial spread-F.
   - Rafael MESQUITA (JHU): In-situ observations of neutral shear
   instability effects in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere during the Super
   Soaker experiment.
   - Luis NAVARRO (UIUC): Non-migrating structures in the midlatitude
   thermosphere.
   - Robert KERR (CPI): Comparison of Arecibo vector neutral wind products
   in the F-region with ICON MIGHTI data in 2020.
   - Manbharat DHADLY (NRL): Comparison of ICON/MIGHTI and TIMED/TIDI
   Neutral Wind Measurements in the Lower Thermosphere.
   - Brian HARDING (UC, Berkeley): The neutral wind dynamo as observed by
   NASA’s ICON mission: First results from the conjugate maneuver.
