CEDAR email: CEDAR community statement on DYNAMIC - please sign

[Larisa Goncharenko]

Dear colleagues,
As many of you are probably aware, the recently released NASA FY 2023 President’s Budget Request does not include funding for the DYNAMIC mission. DYNAMIC was recommended as a mission for NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Probes program by the 2013 Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics. DYNAMIC mission was expected to address questions about the effects of lower atmosphere variability on the variability in the upper atmosphere. These topics are of major importance for the CEDAR community, and the absence of envisioned DYNAMIC observations will have a profound and long-lasting negative impact on many aspects of CEDAR science.
The CEDAR Science Steering Committee, together with members of community, has prepared a statement expressing concern about the future of DYNAMIC mission.  We plan to send this document to NASA headquarters but also encourage you to use it for discussions with other potential stakeholders, including your congressional representatives. We ask you to show your support for DYNAMIC by signing the CEDAR Community Statement on DYNAMIC at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J4zc0c4u0PCNJxPv1GFRKrgqDJN6mIQx/edit?
Thank you in advance for your support and concern regarding the long-term future of CEDAR science.
On behalf of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee,
Larisa Goncharenko, CSSC Chair
