CEDAR email: Call for papers for the 16th ISEA: Space Weather effects at low- and mid-latitudes

[sebastijan.mrak at gmail.com]

Dear CEDAR community,

We are cordially inviting you to participate in the "Space Weather effect at
low- and mid-latitudes" session at the 16th International Symposium on
Equatorial Aeronomy between September 12-16 in Kyoto, Japan. This is a
hybrid symposium, where the presentation can be given virtually. The
deadline for abstract submission is June 30, 2022. Please see the symposium
details on the website: https://www.rish.kyoto-u.ac.jp/isea16/index.html

Full session description:
Space weather at low and mid latitudes covers a wide range of phenomena that
include atmospheric and ionospheric density structures and gradients
affecting LEO satellite operations and measurements, trans-ionospheric radio
propagation, radio links relying on the ionospheric propagation, and
ground-based infrastructure susceptible to geomagnetically induced currents.
This session provides an opportunity for presentations of recent efforts and
advances in theory, numerical simulations, instrumentation development and
observations, and forecasting techniques associated with space weather at
low and mid latitudes. We solicit presentations related but is not limited
to (1) the generation and impacts of small-scale plasma irregularities which
can lead to trans-ionospheric radio wave scintillation, (2) the formation
and impacts of atmospheric neutral density perturbations which can impair
the accuracy of satellite orbit predictions (3) ionospheric currents that
can induce ground-electric currents, and (4) propagation of VLF and HF
signals in the presence of ionospheric density perturbations. We also
welcome contributions related to a better understanding and specification of
the variability of drivers of space weather (e.g., neutral densities,
neutrals winds, ionospheric electric fields) during geomagnetically quiet
and disturbed conditions.

We are looking forward to seeing your abstracts.
