CEDAR email: 2024 AOGS ST30_Monitoring Space Weather and Geospace Hazards with IMCP

[lwren at spaceweather.ac.cn]

Dear Colleagues,
 
We are pleased to announce that we are accepting abstract submissions to our session at AOGS (https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp) in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do (23rd-28th June 2024).Our session, ST30, is entitled "Monitoring Space Weather and Geospace Hazards with the International Meridian Circle Program." The abstract submission deadline is January 2, 2024.
 
***********************************************************************
Session Description:
Earth's ecosystems and human activities are threatened by a broad spectrum of hazards of major importance for the safety of ground infrastructures, space systems and space flight: solar activity, atmospheric and climatic disturbances, space weather, earthquakes, changes in the geomagnetic field, fluctuations of the global electric circuit. Monitoring and understanding these major hazards to better predict and mitigate their effects is one of the greatest scientific and operational challenges of the 21st century. Since these diverse hazards all leave specific imprints on the ionosphere and middle-upper atmosphere (IMUA) and the Magnetosphere-ionosphere-Themersphere coupling system (MIT), they can be detected by means of a global network of instruments monitoring solar activity, interplanetary space, IMUA and MIT. The objective of the International Meridian Circle Program (IMCP), an international cooperative project proposed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is to coordinate the deployment, integration, operation and concurrent data analysis of a global network of this type. 

In this session, we solicit contributions that deal with ground-based observations to provide systematic solar activity and space weather monitoring, relevant or irrelevant to the IMCP efforts.
We particularly welcome presentations describing new observational capabilities as well as potential plans for new facility  and instrument deployments, along various latitudinal chains including but not limited to the meridian circles of 120°E-60°W and 30°E-150°W. 
We also encourage presentations of space missions, theoretical research as well as modelling and advanced data assimilation developments that will enhance the science return from the coordinated global networks of scientific instruments.
