CEDAR email: Invitation: 2022 CEDAR Workshop on Upper Atmospheric Response to Natural Hazards

[Khadka, Sovit]

Dear CEDAR community,


You are all cordially invited to participate in our session - Upper
Atmospheric Response to Geological and Atmospheric Hazards - at the 2022
CEDAR Workshop in Austin, TX. This session is scheduled for Tuesday, June
21, 2022, from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM CST.


Workshop Description:

Synoptic atmospheric hazards, such as hurricanes and strong frontal
activity, and defined geological hazards, such as seismic and volcanic
activities, can trigger acoustic and gravity waves that propagate upwards
and are able to be detected in the upper atmosphere. Observation and
modelling of these events can give new insights into our understanding of
the dynamics, chemistry, and fundamental coupling processes between the
troposphere and the middle and upper atmosphere. In system theory, such
lower atmospheric events can be thought of as a defined input, x(t), into a
complex system, h(t), where the CEDAR community can observe y(t) and gain
insight on the fundamental transfer function(s) representing the underlying
physical processes controlling the upper atmospheric response. This
workshop welcomes short interactive presentations on the upper atmospheric
response to various natural phenomena occurring in the oceans, on land, and
in the lower atmosphere. Such phenomena include, but are not limited to,
earthquakes, surface and submarine volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons,
cyclones, hurricanes, tornados, thunderstorms, etc., which are studied from
different observational and modeling approaches. The workshop seeks to
bring together research communities from different disciplines and
backgrounds so as to fundamentally develop a deeper understanding of the
geophysical processes involved. It is anticipated that the impact of this
activity can lead to new projects related to natural hazard-induced upper
atmospheric dynamics, including research-based tools that may lead to early
warning systems against such natural disasters.
