The Arecibo platform collapsed in December 2020. However, the collapse did not affect the expensive transmitters, generators, and other crucial instrumentation used for the ISR and HF facilities. At the talk, Dale will present a plan to restart ionospheric and satellite observations at Arecibo, using the existing infrastructure and performing some basic repairs. ASAP is interested in hearing your feedback as part of the CEDAR community. Please save the date and join us. On behalf of the ASAP board, Eliana Nossa Dear Colleagues, Lecture/Discussion: Thurs., 7th July, 12 noon ET Title: *A Preliminary Plan to Quickly Restore Utility to the Arecibo 305m Telescope* Dr. Dale Ferguson ? AFRL Spaceforce (A fuller biography is given below) Zoom Link: To be sent 24-48 hours prior to the event *Abstract:* Since the collapse of the Arecibo 305m telescope platform on Dec. 1, 2020, there has been much discussion of building a new Arecibo telescope or rebuilding the facility that was destroyed. In the collapse, the tops of the three platform support towers were sheared off, and the feed arm fell free from the swinging platform and destroyed 25% of the dish. Fortunately, the Control Building, with the computers, spectrometers, masers, atomic clocks, 430 MHz Klystrons, etc., was spared. By replacing the main dish support cables and resurfacing with coarse mesh, the main dish can be repaired as a reflector for < HF operation. By replacing the damaged aluminum panels to make the dish whole again, RF operations at up to 500 MHz can be resumed. In this presentation, we outline the steps that can be taken to restore HF (High Frequency, 3-30 MHz) ionospheric heating, 430 MHz ionospheric incoherent scattering radar, passive radio observations of satellite arcing and pulsars, and to extend the field of view to 47 degrees from the zenith. This would restore and improve much of the utility of the Arecibo dish. Part of this plan involves supporting, positioning and pointing novel point feeds from lightweight football-camera-like cables, strung from the rebuilt tower tops. It is believed that the dish may thus become broadly useful long before replacement facilities can be engineered and constructed. This event is a further in the series of ASAP ?lunchtime? talks/discussions exploring issues and proposals pertinent to Arecibo?s future. Recordings of the earlier talks can be found on the areciboscience.org website. Please reserve the date, and look for the zoom link to be sent 24-48 hours prior to the event. Best regards and wishes, ASAP Secretary Dale C. Ferguson received the Ph.D. degree from The University of Arizona, Tucson, in 1974. He is currently the Lead for Spacecraft Charging Science and Technology with the Space Vehicles Division, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, NM. From 1978 TO 1981 Dale was a pulsar staff member at Arecibo. Since 1982, he has been addressing spacecraft charging problems. In 2018-2019, he spent six months in the Arecibo Observatory developing and deploying an instrument to measure spacecraft charging known as the AFRL DAGGER Project. The broadband 327 MHz "Point Feed" was located at the focal surface of the Arecibo dish. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Session Description: Ground-based and in situ observations during the last decade greatly advanced our knowledge of the subauroral dynamical structure, including density troughs, and its external and internal drivers, such as reconnection-ejected mesoscale plasma flows and ionospheric feedback, just to name a few. In particular, the recently established relation of subauroral arcs, STEVE and Picket Fence, to strong subauroral flows (SAID and SAPS) helped to "visualize" plasma and wave processes occurring in the course of substorms near the plasma sheet inner boundary. The understanding of these, often nonlinear, processes necessarily requires an approach that combines dedicated observations and advanced theoretical/numerical studies. To facilitate such broad collaboration and usher in a "golden era" of subauroral research, we propose a special section that can bring theorists and modelers together with observers to present observations and theoretical/numerical simulations models using/explaining observations from ground and space platforms focusing on, but not limited to, multiscale wave, current, plasma, and optical phenomena.

The link to the session is: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/160364 The abstract submission deadline is: Wednesday, 03 August 2021 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT. This session will focus on the identification and source differentiation of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), which are frequently observed in the ionosphere at all latitudes and longitudes. TIDs can be driven from above by solar and magnetospheric disturbances, or driven from below by lower atmospheric and surface forcing, including but not limited to tropospheric weather events (hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, etc.), earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, explosions, and spacecraft launches. TIDs generated from different types of sources may exhibit similar or very different characteristics in their spatial and temporal scales, periodicities, propagation speeds and directions. Meanwhile, TIDs generated from the same type of sources may exhibit different characteristics depending on the local ionospheric conditions. Therefore, it remains a challenge to distinguish TIDs from different types of sources in ionospheric observations. We solicit theoretical, observational, and modeling contributions on better understanding of the origins, generation mechanisms, and characteristics of TIDs. In particular, we welcome innovative approaches to identify and differentiate TIDs generated from various sources.

Ionospheric Model Validation for User Applications: Developments in Metrics, Datasets, and Methods Message-ID: Hello, I'd like to draw your attention to an interesting upcoming AGU session on ionospheric model validation, focusing on the development of new metrics and use of new datasets for the comprehensive validation of ionospheric models. If this is something you are interested in, whether you are a modeler or an experimentalist, please consider submitting an abstract to this new session. AGU Session SA013. Ionospheric Model Validation for User Applications: Developments in Metrics, Datasets, and Methods Abstract: A broad range of user applications are crucially reliant on or affected by the state of the ionosphere; as such, the modeling and correction of these impacts is subsequently highly sensitive to the choice of ionospheric representation. There are now dozens of ionospheric models that have been developed by the community with varying degrees of maturity and availability; however, we still lack an understanding of whether these models meet the basic needs of radio propagation and other users. This is an opportunity for community members to share their ideas and proposals for how best to conduct comprehensive model testing in an environment with diverse modeling methodologies and user interests. This session seeks contributions covering advances in validation studies using metrics relevant to user applications, such as HF communications, Over-the-Horizon Radar, GNSS, and scintillation modeling. Contributions highlighting current coordinated model validation efforts or new methodologies are especially encouraged. Abstracts are due August 3rd. AGU 2022 will be held in Chicago over December 12 - 16, 2022. We look forward to seeing you all at AGU2022!

Lopez *Abstract:* Magnetic storms are an important component of space weather because the disturbances that they produce in the magnetosphere and ionosphere can have significant effects on our technology. The traditional measure of magnetic storm intensity is Dst, which is generally taken as a measure of ring current intensity. However, many of the most important space weather effects involve the ionosphere and are driven by variations in ionospheric currents. In this talk, I will discuss how for many storms the ionospheric currents are correlated with Dst, but for storms where the solar wind magnetosonic Mach number is low, these quantities become uncorrelated. Therefore, for these storms, which tend to be the most intense storms, Dst is a much less useful measure of storm intensity. I will also discuss the current SCOSTEP scientific program known as PRESTO, and provide information about PRESTO activities and programs. ------------------------------------------- *Dra.

Ionospheric Disturbances during Extreme Space Weather Conditions Message-ID: Hello All, I would like to highlight an upcoming AGU session on extreme space weather effects on the ionosphere. Please consider submitting an abstract to this session, whether you are a modeler or an observationalist or an experimentalist. Please refer to the title and a short description attached below. Session Title: SA012. Ionospheric Disturbances during Extreme Space Weather Conditions Session Description: Ionospheric disturbances associated with extreme space weather form in response to phenomena on the Sun such as solar flares, energetic proton events, and coronal mass ejections. Examples of disturbances in the ionosphere include short wave fadeout, polar cap absorption, irregularity formation, intense ionospheric currents, and Interplanetary Shock driven Storm Sudden Commencements. The ionospheric response to extreme space weather conditions can severely disrupt critical infrastructure such as HF and space-based communications, can affect Over-the-Horizon Radar performance and can degrade GNSS accuracy and availability. This session invites papers that describe recent progress and our current understanding of the physical mechanisms governing ionospheric disturbances and their sources from the Sun to the ground, as well as the resulting impact on technology. Submissions focusing on observations, theory, modeling and prediction are welcome. Abstracts are due 3rd August 2022. AGU 2022 will be held in Chicago over December 12 - 16, 2022. We look forward to seeing (hopefully in-person) you all at AGU2022! Best Regards!

We welcome a broad range of topics including but not limited to storms and substorms as well as processes across scales. Session Title SA016 - Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling during Disturbed Times https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/157095 Session Description Determining the effects of energy deposition and transport, and momentum exchange across regions and different spatial and temporal scales during disturbed times such as storms and substorms is an important objective in the M-I-T system. Coupling across multiple scales is also a critical challenge since observational and modeling methodologies for bridging different scales do not presently exist. This session solicits presentations on a wide range of coupling processes in the M-I-T system from global to local processes. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) (1) density structures and temperature gradients (polar cap patch, cusp, plume, trough, irregularities); (2) convection (fast flows, SAPS, penetration electric field) and currents; (3) energy transfer and deposition by precipitation, conductivity, aurora, and heating; (4) ion-neutral interaction (thermospheric density and wind) and (5) coupling and feedback into the magnetosphere (including waves and instabilities). Discussions by all means of observations, modeling and data science are encouraged.

The deadline for all submissions is *Wednesday, 3 August 2022 at 23:59 EDT.* Here is the session link for your kind reference. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/162872 *Session details:* A recent moderate geomagnetic storm on February 3-4, 2022, has caused the loss of about 40 out of 49 SpaceX Starlink low-orbit satellites, highlighting the importance of advancing the predictive capability of the Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, and Thermosphere (MIT) system, especially under disturbed conditions. The availability of long-term Heliophysics System Observatory datasets and rapidly growing data science techniques have enabled researchers to develop various data-driven modeling approaches that utilize data assimilation and machine learning techniques. The ongoing challenge is to enhance the data set with new measurements, especially in the thermosphere, and model temperatures, winds, and densities in the thermosphere on a global scale. We must look for new ways to use existing data and/or identify new observations for this purpose. We solicit papers on new measurements, and new applications of data-driven modeling approaches to address MIT-coupling science questions, including papers that demonstrate how data assimilation and machine learning techniques can be used to deepen our understanding of MIT-coupling and enable a better storm-time prediction. Papers that focus on forecasting the solar wind and magnetospheric conditions that lead to the improved thermosphere and ionosphere's space weather effects, such as satellite drag and geomagnetically-induced currents, are also solicited.

Understanding the underlying physics responsible for mid-to-large scale (>1000 km) and interhemispheric phenomena in Earth?s thermosphere-ionosphere system has proven challenging due to a relative lack of coordinate measurements and modeling results at the appropriate scales. Recent advances in relatively low-cost and/or mass-deployable instrumentation, and advances in modeling capabilities, are close to solving this challenge. We invite results from current experimental and modeling studies that address mid-to-large scale and interhemispheric phenomena in thermosphere-ionosphere system, especially those that integrate the two. Also of interest are contributions that highlight potential collaborations between modeling and ground-based observing networks, by discussing the necessary measurements to address these phenomena (e.g., interhemispheric neutral dynamics, traveling ionospheric disturbances, equatorial and auroral electrojets, etc.) from a modeling standpoint. Contributions can address the minimum requirements to observe these phenomena including the extension of measurements to locations difficult to access (e.g., oceangoing autonomous surface vehicles, the development/expansion of land-based networks, etc).

The forcing of these regions and the many different processes involved vary over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, hindering accurate determination of these fundamental parameters critical to satellite operations and radio communications. Past and current space missions, field campaigns, as well as theoretical and modeling advances, have led to a new understanding of how and why the dominant drivers of upper atmospheric composition, winds, and temperatures in these regions change over different spatial and temporal scales. This session, therefore, seeks to highlight various topics surrounding middle and upper atmospheric composition, wind, and temperature measurements, their variability, and the prominent mechanisms that drive their spatial, seasonal, and inter-annual variability from theoretical, observational, and modeling perspectives. We look forward to your contribution to our AGU session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 03 August 2022 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT. Thank you.

With a growing amount of data in archives throughout Heliophysics, we are looking for ideas on the scientific capabilities of those archives. Examples of usability in current archives are welcome as are dreams of what future archives should offer. Please submit your abstract in this area to this session. The volume and complexity of heliophysics data from satellites now rivals that of ground-based observatories. NASA missions are required to provide their science data to a permanent data archive that ensures access to the data in perpetuity. While these archives are being designed and built, we have a unique opportunity to provide ideas on the design and operation of this archive. Besides assuring access to the data and search tools to isolate relevant data, an archive could offer computational services (primarily to reduce the amount of data that must be served) and subsetting services (again reducing the amount of transferred data).

Session at the 2022 Fall AGU Meeting. The focus of our session is on observational and modeling studies that advance our understanding of the role of various mechanisms and processes for generation of ionosphere irregularities and their propagation impacts. Session Title: SA017 - Observational and modeling studies of ionospheric irregularities and scintillation Session Description: Ionospheric irregularities are the main source of scintillation defined as rapid random fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of radio signals that adversely affect transionospheric communication and navigation systems, such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Scintillations are the most severe at magnetic low- and high-latitudes which are conducive to instability mechanisms pertaining to the magnetic field orientation. These irregularities with characteristic scales of the order of several hundred meters to a few kilometers in conjunction with larger scale density perturbations impact radio and radar systems relying on the ionospheric reflections including VLF and HF communications and Over the Horizon Radars (OTHR). The generation mechanisms producing these ionospheric density irregularities are controlled by the background density, electric fields, plasma drift, neutral winds and particle precipitation. Understanding the state of the system controlling the instability onset, turbulence development and saturation are paramount for the forecasting and mitigation strategies. In this session, we invite both modeling and remote and in situ observational studies pertinent to advancing our understanding of the role of various mechanisms and processes for generation of ionosphere irregularities and their propagation impacts including scintillation, bending and range delays. The abstract submission deadline is Aug. 3, 2022. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to meeting you at 2022 Fall AGU meeting.

Raising Awareness on Mental Health in the Earth and Space Sciences Message-ID: We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to an upcoming AGU session: SM024. Raising Awareness on Mental Health in the Earth and Space Sciences https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/159223 Session Description: A career in research and academia can be a very rewarding, but can come with different challenges that can negatively impact the mental health of anyone, regardless of career stage. These work-related stressors, together with individual life challenges, can lead to unhealthy conditions that are difficult to navigate. A recent study (NASEM, 2021) found a consistent up to a three-fold increase in negative self-assessment of mental health among students pursuing a graduate degree. Similar studies remain to be carried out among scientists at all career stages. A positive development within STEM culture in recent years has been that conversations about well-being and mental health are becoming more common, opening an important door for those going through hardship to avoid feeling isolated, and making it easier to understand how to deal with stressors and seek the necessary help. In this session, we will be hosting a conversation between panelists with different backgrounds and experiences and the audience, in order to better understand the current status of mental health in the field, what steps are being taken to help those in need, and to foster an interaction that will lead to ideas on how to move forward.

Advances in Radio Frequency Propagation Modeling and Applications Session Description: Radio frequency propagation modeling is an integral part of a wide variety of scientific studies and technological applications. Many models and applications consider the effects of ionospheric refraction, magneto-ionic splitting, plasma and neutral collisions, scintillation, traveling ionospheric disturbances, sporadic-E, spread-F, and land-surface interactions. Recent advances in computational power, as well as data collection, storage, and distribution capabilities, have led to an improved ability to include these effects at a higher fidelity, and modern digital signal processing techniques have led to an improved ability to assess the utility of including them. This session seeks contributions covering advancements in measurement, modelling, and prediction techniques pertinent to the interaction of radio waves with the ionosphere in either a skywave or transionospheric propagation mode. Contributions highlighting improvements in our ability to include and understand the Earth?s interactions with these propagation modes are especially encouraged. ------------------------------------------------------------ Stephen R.

We look forward to your contributions on improving data utilization for space weather. Sincerely, Dimitrios Vassiliadis Terry Onsager Katherine Garcia-Sage Yuri Shprits SM002 - Advancing Space Weather Research and Mission Development: OSSEs, OSEs and Related Methods The effective utilization of data in space weather models is essential for advancing our scientific understanding, for developing and validating specification and forecast models, and for prioritizing future observing system procurements. In recent years, new powerful numerical simulation methods that leverage high-resolution observations have been increasingly used in atmospheric and oceanic research, as well as for space physics. The most sophisticated of these rely on data assimilation: numerical simulations are increasingly being applied to conduct Observing System Experiments (OSEs), which quantify the impact of existing observing systems on model accuracy, and Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs), which assess the potential value of a new observing system when actual observational data are not available. More basic alternatives to OSSEs/OSEs include sensitivity studies used to measure the response of a model to perturbations and evaluate the forecast-error growth. All of these methods are accelerating the integration of in-situ and remote-sensing data in numerical models and the improvement of boundary conditions. They are also becoming an important tool in mission planning, since they can be used to optimize orbital and instrument options that parameterize the synthetic data used in assimilation. Such studies have been initiated recently for ionospheric/thermospheric and radiation-belt models. They are also being developed for other regions of the terrestrial and space environment. We invite abstracts that discuss the development of OSSEs/OSEs and related methods in ionospheric/thermospheric, magnetospheric, and heliospheric systems. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Terrance Onsager NOAA/NWS/Space Weather Prediction Center 325 Broadway Boulder, CO USA 80305 1-303-497-5713 ------------------------------------------------------------- *Safeguarding society with actionable space weather information* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Advances in the Understanding of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) and Ionospheric Irregularities (e.g., Scintillations, Equatorial Plasma Bubbles, Spread-F) Using Measurements and Modeling? Session at the 2022 Fall AGU Meeting. Session Description: Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) and ionospheric irregularities (e.g., Scintillations, Equatorial Plasma Bubbles, Spread-F) have been a major focus of the ionospheric research community. The behavior of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere system is influenced by solar forcing from above, wave activity from below, traveling atmospheric/ionospheric disturbances (TADs/TIDs) from mid/high latitudes, and the equatorial dynamo process. These factors manifest various thermospheric and ionospheric irregularities. Further, the geomagnetic field geometry (such as magnetic declination angle, terminator alignment), geomagnetic activity, and winds regulate the morphology and variability of EIA and irregularities. Determining these conditions and understanding their interactions have challenged the research community for decades. New satellite measurements (GOLD, ICON, COSMIC 2) and modeling approaches are revealing new, interesting characteristics about the EIA variability and ionospheric irregularities. This session invites presentations related to space and ground-based measurements and modeling efforts that contribute to a better understanding of the development and variability of the EIA and ionospheric irregularities. The abstract submission deadline is Aug. 3, 2022. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to meeting you at 2022 Fall AGU meeting.

The focus of our session is on observational and modeling studies that advance our understanding of the role of various mechanisms and processes in the generation of ionosphere irregularities and their propagation impacts. Session Title SA017 - Observational and modeling studies of ionospheric irregularities and scintillation https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/157275 Session Description Ionospheric irregularities are the main source of scintillation defined as rapid random fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of radio signals that adversely affect transionospheric communication and navigation systems, such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Scintillations are the most severe at magnetic low- and high-latitudes which are conducive to instability mechanisms pertaining to the magnetic field orientation. These irregularities with characteristic scales of the order of several hundred meters to a few kilometers in conjunction with larger scale density perturbations impact radio and radar systems relying on the ionospheric reflections including VLF and HF communications and Over the Horizon Radars (OTHR). The generation mechanisms producing these ionospheric density irregularities are controlled by the background density, electric fields, plasma drift, neutral winds and particle precipitation. Understanding the state of the system controlling the instability onset, turbulence development and saturation are paramount for the forecasting and mitigation strategies. In this session, we invite both modeling and remote and in situ observational studies pertinent to advancing our understanding of the role of various mechanisms and processes for generation of ionosphere irregularities and their propagation impacts including scintillation, bending and range delays.

Ionospheric Disturbances during Extreme Space Weather Conditions Message-ID: Hello All, I would like to highlight an upcoming AGU session on extreme space weather effects on the ionosphere. Please consider submitting an abstract to this session, whether you are a modeler or an observationalist or an experimentalist. Please refer to the title and a short description attached below. Session Title: SA012. Ionospheric Disturbances during Extreme Space Weather Conditions Session Description: Ionospheric disturbances associated with extreme space weather form in response to phenomena on the Sun such as solar flares, energetic proton events, and coronal mass ejections. Examples of disturbances in the ionosphere include short wave fadeout, polar cap absorption, irregularity formation, intense ionospheric currents, and Interplanetary Shock driven Storm Sudden Commencements. The ionospheric response to extreme space weather conditions can severely disrupt critical infrastructure such as HF and space-based communications, can affect Over-the-Horizon Radar performance and can degrade GNSS accuracy and availability. This session invites papers that describe recent progress and our current understanding of the physical mechanisms governing ionospheric disturbances and their sources from the Sun to the ground, as well as the resulting impact on technology. Submissions focusing on observations, theory, modeling and prediction are welcome. Abstracts are due 3rd August 2022. AGU 2022 will be held in Chicago over December 12 - 16, 2022. We look forward to seeing (hopefully in-person) you all at AGU2022! Best Regards!

The drivers of the auroral ionosphere are delivered over multiple spatial and temporal scales that draw dramatically different responses in the ionosphere-thermosphere system. It is not possible to disentangle mesoscale processes of auroral arc systems with traditional single-point observations. Ionospheric system science benefits now from (a) the advent of distributed and heterogeneous sensor platform arrays, together with (b) newly capable three-dimensional self-consistent computational models which bypass standard idealizations and (c) new computational tools built on machine learning platforms. Constraining auroral system science requires distributed fine-grained observations, as well as physics-based models capable of constructing simulations consistent with a multiplicity of observations. We welcome observational, modeling, and data science presentations that are enabled by distributed measurements of the auroral ionosphere. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

SM009 - Geospace Research from Polar Environments: A Focus on Polar Cap Dynamics The uniqueness of polar regions for conducting geospace research has been acknowledged for decades. This is because instrumentation located at high-latitudes allows access to a natural laboratory for studying the Earth's atmosphere, its space environment, and solar-generated interplanetary structures. Many fundamental aspects of the plasma dynamics in the polar regions remains unsolved, including the origin of interhemispheric asymmetries, representing a barrier to understanding the thermosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system. These dynamics impact a number of important phenomena such as (and not only) auroral patterns, induced electrical currents, geomagnetic field geometry, ionospheric electrodynamics, ion-neutral coupling, temperature and winds in the neutral atmosphere. This session solicits papers on recent advances in space physics, aeronomy and space weather focusing on polar cap dynamics. Studies discussing observations or modeling results that place polar dynamics in global context are highly encouraged. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago - virtually or in person!

The availability of long-term Heliophysics System Observatory datasets and rapidly growing data science techniques have enabled researchers to develop various data-driven modeling approaches that utilize data assimilation and machine learning techniques. The ongoing challenge is to enhance the data set with new measurements, especially in the thermosphere, and model temperatures, winds, and densities in the thermosphere on a global scale. We must look for new ways to use existing data and/or identify new observations for this purpose. We solicit papers on new measurements, and new applications of data-driven modeling approaches to address MIT-coupling science questions, including papers that demonstrate how data assimilation and machine learning techniques can be used to deepen our understanding of MIT-coupling and enable a better storm-time prediction. Papers that focus on forecasting the solar wind and magnetospheric conditions that lead to the improved thermosphere and ionosphere's space weather effects, such as satellite drag and geomagnetically-induced currents, are also solicited.

If this is something you are interested in, whether you are a modeler or an experimentalist, please consider submitting an abstract to this new session. AGU Session SA013. Ionospheric Model Validation for User Applications: Developments in Metrics, Datasets, and Methods Abstract: A broad range of user applications are crucially reliant on or affected by the state of the ionosphere; as such, the modeling and correction of these impacts is subsequently highly sensitive to the choice of ionospheric representation. There are now dozens of ionospheric models that have been developed by the community with varying degrees of maturity and availability; however, we still lack an understanding of whether these models meet the basic needs of radio propagation and other users. This is an opportunity for community members to share their ideas and proposals for how best to conduct comprehensive model testing in an environment with diverse modeling methodologies and user interests. This session seeks contributions covering advances in validation studies using metrics relevant to user applications, such as HF communications, Over-the-Horizon Radar, GNSS, and scintillation modeling. Contributions highlighting current coordinated model validation efforts or new methodologies are especially encouraged. Abstracts are due August 3rd. AGU 2022 will be held in Chicago over December 12 - 16, 2022. We look forward to seeing you all at AGU2022!

Thank you, Terry ______________________________________ Dear Colleagues: Please consider submitting an abstract to: SM002 - Advancing Space Weather Research and Mission Development: OSSEs, OSEs and Related Methods. We look forward to your contributions on improving data utilization for space weather. Sincerely, Dimitrios Vassiliadis Terry Onsager Katherine Garcia-Sage Yuri Shprits SM002 - Advancing Space Weather Research and Mission Development: OSSEs, OSEs and Related Methods The effective utilization of data in space weather models is essential for advancing our scientific understanding, for developing and validating specification and forecast models, and for prioritizing future observing system procurements. In recent years, new powerful numerical simulation methods that leverage high-resolution observations have been increasingly used in atmospheric and oceanic research, as well as for space physics. The most sophisticated of these rely on data assimilation: numerical simulations are increasingly being applied to conduct Observing System Experiments (OSEs), which quantify the impact of existing observing systems on model accuracy, and Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs), which assess the potential value of a new observing system when actual observational data are not available. More basic alternatives to OSSEs/OSEs include sensitivity studies used to measure the response of a model to perturbations and evaluate the forecast-error growth. All of these methods are accelerating the integration of in-situ and remote-sensing data in numerical models and the improvement of boundary conditions. They are also becoming an important tool in mission planning, since they can be used to optimize orbital and instrument options that parameterize the synthetic data used in assimilation. Such studies have been initiated recently for ionospheric/thermospheric and radiation-belt models. They are also being developed for other regions of the terrestrial and space environment. We invite abstracts that discuss the development of OSSEs/OSEs and related methods in ionospheric/thermospheric, magnetospheric, and heliospheric systems. ------------------------------------------------------------- Terrance Onsager NOAA/NWS/Space Weather Prediction Center 325 Broadway Boulder, CO USA 80305 1-303-497-5713 ------------------------------------------------------------- *Safeguarding society with actionable space weather information* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The forcing of these regions and the many different processes involved vary over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, hindering accurate determination of these fundamental parameters critical to satellite operations and radio communications. Past and current space missions, field campaigns, as well as theoretical and modeling advances, have led to a new understanding of how and why the dominant drivers of upper atmospheric composition, winds, and temperatures in these regions change over different spatial and temporal scales. This session, therefore, seeks to highlight various topics surrounding middle and upper atmospheric composition, wind, and temperature measurements, their variability, and the prominent mechanisms that drive their spatial, seasonal, and inter-annual variability from theoretical, observational, and modeling perspectives. We look forward to your contribution to our AGU session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is *Wednesday, 03 August 2022 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT*. Thank you.

Global and Micro-Scale Consequences of Mesoscale Magnetotail Dynamics Section: SPA-Magnetospheric Physics Session Description: Much of the plasma and magnetic flux transport in the terrestrial magnetotail occurs in the form of transient flow enhancements. They carry significant northward magnetic field intensifications and may cumulatively account for a large portion of the entire earthward flux transport in the magnetotail. This alone makes them fundamentally important elementary building blocks of magnetospheric dynamics. These mesoscale structures also play a significant role in the energization of plasma sheet particles, the build-up of the radiation belts and the ring current, kinetic wave generation and particle scattering, current generation and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. It is thus important to characterize both global and micro-scale consequences of these mesoscale dynamics, not only at Earth but also in other planetary magnetospheres. This session solicits contributions using in situ and/or ground-based observations along with theory and global or regional models that incorporate mesoscale processes to examine their impacts in magnetospheres throughout the Solar System.

Solar Wind Uncertainty Session Message-ID: <56CCE475-C4EF-4958-8A70-F1FB217C4FB8@illinois.edu> We invite you to submit an abstract to the Fall 2022 AGU Session SM026: Solar Wind Uncertainty and its Impact on Geospace Physics, Modeling, and Data Analysis. The session aims to focus on variability and uncertainties in the solar wind, assumptions about the solar wind drivers, and how these impact our models and understanding of the geospace system. We wish to provide a platform for studies investigating the formulation and propagation of solar wind uncertainties and their effects on the magnetosphere-ionosphere response that use but are not limited to data analysis, machine learning-based feature importance studies, bias and variance analysis, ensemble modeling, and numerical experiments. Studies that explore measurement or model uncertainties for extreme space weather events are also encouraged. Abstracts are due 3rd August 2022. AGU 2022 will be held in Chicago and Online over December 12 - 16, 2022. For more info about the session please use this link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/prelim.cgi/Session/161886. If you have questions, please email Nithin Sivadas at sivadas at cua.edu. Please note that this session is part of the SPA-SM section, but it is also cross-listed with SPA-SA and SPA-SH. Hence one can submit a contributed abstract to this session even if another contributed abstract is submitted to another SPA-SM or other sessions.
