The deadline for abstract submission is January 25th, 2023, and abstracts can be submitted using the following link: https://www.ursi-gass2023.jp/paper_submission.html The conference will be hybrid with its in-person component held in Sapporo, Japan, August 19-26, 2023. For more information about the conference please check out the following website: https://www.ursi-gass2023.jp/ Session Description: Radio propagation in bands ranging from VLF to UHF is crucially reliant or affected by the state of the ionosphere; as such, modeling of this propagation 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 modelers and users. This session seeks to open a dialogue between experimentalists, users, and model developers on approaches and metrics that can be used to validate ionospheric models, with focus on radio propagation and Space Weather applications. This session encourages submissions on topics including, but not limited to: 1) Radio propagation experimentation; 2) experiments validating radio propagation models; 3) efforts or ideas to establish community ionospheric model validation testbeds; 4) novel ionospheric and radio propagation model validation metrics; 5) new radio propagation observations; 6) user-defined and user-focused model validation metrics, such as those relevant to GNSS and Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR). If you have been working on new measurement techniques, have been developing new models, or have deployed new instruments to the field, we want to hear from you. As always with the URSI flagship meetings, there is a Student Paper Competition and a Young Scientist Award available as part of this conference to support early career and student participation. Hope to see you in August in Japan, David R. Themens -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks! Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to consider submitting an abstract to session ST3.3 The multi-scale ionosphere and its drivers to be held at the EGU General Assembly between 23-28 April 2023 in Vienna, Austria. Abstract submission is at: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/abstractsubmission/46346 and the deadline is 13:00 CET on Tuesday 10th January 2023. ST3.3 The multi-scale ionosphere and its drivers The ionosphere is a highly complex plasma containing electron density structures spanning a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Large scale structures with horizontal extents of tens to hundreds of km exhibit variation with time of day, season, solar cycle, geomagnetic activity, solar wind conditions and location. Smaller scale structures can be seeded from these larger scale structures or can be driven directly. Collectively, these structures can be driven from above, enabling discoveries about the coupling of the near-space environment to the Earth's atmosphere. They can also be driven from below, enabling discoveries about vertical coupling within the atmosphere. The ionosphere is heavily influenced by neutral atmosphere in which it is embedded. The thermosphere can influence the ionosphere, and observations of the ionosphere can be used to infer properties of the thermosphere. We invite studies of the ionosphere and its drivers at any temporal or spatial scale. Contributions which span or compare multiple scale sizes are particularly welcome. Thank you very much for your attention and we hope that you can join us in Vienna!

Prediction of the extreme events (forecast and nowcast) and development of the mitigation strategy are vital as the space assets and critical infrastructures, such as communication and navigation systems, power grids, and aviation, are all extremely sensitive to the external environment. Post-event analysis is crucially important for the development and maintenance of numerical models, which can predict extreme SW events to avoid failure of the critical infrastructures. This session aims to address both the current state of the art of SW products and new ideas and developments that can enhance the understanding of SW and SC and their impact on critical infrastructure. We invite presentations on various SW and SC-related activities in the Sun-Earth system: forecast and nowcast products and services; satellite observations; model development, validation, and verification; data assimilation; development and production of geomagnetic and ionospheric indices. Talks on SW effects on applications (e.g. on airlines, pipelines and power grids, space flights, auroral tourism, etc.) in the Earth?s environment are also welcomed. Confirmed invited speaker Matt Taylor (ESTEC, European Space Agency) will speak about the cross-discipline approach to examine the physical links between Weather in Space and the Lower Atmosphere.

This transition region is sandwiched between the lower and upper atmosphere which is strongly driven by the forcing from both the above (e.g., solar and magnetospheric inputs) and below (e.g., gravity waves and atmospheric tides). The thermal structure of the MLT region is controlled by numerous sources and sinks of energy including solar radiation, chemical, and dynamical processes. Solar atmospheric tides related to global-scale variations of winds and waves are responsible for the coupling of the lower and upper layers of the atmosphere. During the coupling process, the precipitation of energetic particles into the MLT region also has a great influence on the vertical profiles of the temperatures, chemistry, and dynamics of the upper atmosphere. This is a suitable forum/time to encourage the science community to present, discuss, update, and improve our understanding of dynamics, chemistry, and coupling in the MLT region that ultimately affect the electrodynamics of the whole coupled geospace environment. This session invites presentations on scientific work related to various experimental/observational techniques, numerical and empirical modeling, and theoretical analyses on the dynamics, chemistry, and coupling processes in the altitude range of ~ 60 km to 180 km of the MLT regions. We look forward to your contribution to our EGU General Assembly session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is *Tuesday, 10 January 2023 at 13:00 CET*. Thank you.

The RION's ionosonde network "GIRO" (Global Ionosphere Radio Observatory) has been in coordinated operation since 2004. Its Lowell GIRO Data Center (LGDC) operates nine online central data repositories and several data sharing and dissemination services. In addition to the public ionosonde data provision, LGDC operates assimilative real-time models of the ionosphere and trans-ionospheric signal propagation that constitute RION. The models include GAMBIT (Global Assimilative Modeling of Bottomside Ionosphere with Topside extension) that interfaces one the International GNSS Service centers in Olsztyn, Poland to build global maps of the effective ionospheric slab thickness. Current state of art and prospective way forward will be presented, including an upcoming Pan-European alert system T-FORS for forecasting TID activity based on Deep Learning techniques. *********************************************** [image: ISWI Seminar Series (2).png] ------------------------------------------- *Dra.

The goal of this workshop is to engage the worldwide Heliosphysics community to discuss how we could organize our discipline under a common scientific framework, and provide a forum for coordination, planning, and strategy. The idea for this workshop grew out of the COSPAR Task Group on establishing an International Geospace Systems Program (TGIGSP), which has now evolved into a larger desire to constitute a grass-roots version of the original ISTP program, unifying the Sun-Heliosphere and Geospace communities. Such an international program could help to coalesce our discipline around a common scientific framework, and help coordinate current and future observations, programs, and initiatives to holistically study our interconnected system-of-systems to answer fundamental science questions within our discipline. Example of potential topics include: * GDC+DYNAMIC and establishing the ITM Great Observatory * Coordination of solar observations at all latitudes and longitudes, including space- and ground-based * The mesoscale magnetosphere and heliosphere * Community tools & methods (e.g. pyspedas, sunpy), AI/ML * Next generation numerical simulations across the heliosphere * Future mission coordination and ground-based coordination * Data standards, archiving, and data access This workshop is intended to be responsive to the needs of the community. Therefore, if you are interested in helping to organize or lead a session, or simply have topical suggestions, please email the lead organizers. International participation is eagerly encouraged.

Please consider submitting a paper to our Session G05- Advances in Irregularities and Scintillation Studies The formation of ionospheric irregularities results from dynamical processes in the ionosphere, including transport processes, instabilities, and turbulence, being driven, and modulated by Space Weather phenomena and by the forcing from the neutral atmosphere. Ionospheric irregulars affect radio waves' propagation (e.g., scintillation), posing a threat to modern radio systems. Among these are Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) critical applications, for which accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity are mandatory, and HF/VHF/UHF radio communications that exploit reflection and refraction by the ionosphere. This session emphasizes the latest developments in modeling and diagnostic measurements of driving processes, dynamics, and morphology of ionospheric irregularities. Papers that analyze scintillation effects on satellite-based communication, navigation, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and other systems at low and high latitudes are encouraged. The scope of this session also includes new developments in the theory of scintillation, statistical studies of scintillations, multi-frequency studies and multi-technique observations of irregularities, including in situ observations, relevant to the possible prediction of scintillations.

The summer school?s goal is to train students in the theory and concepts of incoherent scatter radar, and allows for hands-on opportunities to design and run experiments at ISR facilities. This year?s school will focus on high-latitude / auroral observations using the Poker Flat ISR (PFISR) as a part of the NSF supported Geospace Facility. ISRs are the most powerful ground based tools for ionospheric remote sensing with high temporal and altitudinal resolution. ISR data sets include measurements of electron density, electron and ion temperatures, and plasma drifts, with the possibility of further derived parameters. The main objectives of the school are: (a) provide a "hands-on" learning experience in small groups, (b) promote team-work and collaborative skills, (c) encourage substantial interactions with instructors, and (d) foster an inclusive environment. At this school, students will learn: - How the ionosphere forms and why it is important. - The physical principles of incoherent scatter radar. - The mathematical principles of radar signal processing. - How to design and run an ISR experiment. - How to extract and visualize data from the Madrigal database. - How ISR complements and adds insight to other observations. We encourage graduate/advanced undergraduate students to apply for the school. Those candidates who are selected for the 2023 ISR summer school and are enrolled at U.S. Universities/institutions will receive travel support and accommodation to attend this event. Self-funded students from institutions in other countries are welcome to apply as well. The 2023 ISR summer school is funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Geospace Facilities Program within the Geosciences Directorate, and is organized by the University of Central Florida. *The deadline for application submission is March 10, 2023.* Notice of acceptance will be sent to participants by March 24, 2023.

Note, please, that the abstract submission deadline is 25th January 2023. Paper submission page: https://www.ursi-gass2023.jp/papers.html Session Description: The understanding of the complex nature of the near-Earth plasma is crucial for Ionosphere and Space Weather modelling and applications. The goal of this Session is to discuss to which extent the Magnetosphere ? Ionosphere system is predictable in terms of the physics of dynamical systems and statistical results. Ionospheric models attempt to predict ionospheric parameters variations, but quantitative limits of predictability have not been given and justified. To determine and understand such limits is essential to define the predictability of the ionospheric parameter variations searching for the chaotic and deterministic components of such variations. This can be done also making use of modern techniques like big data and machine learning. The Session, therefore, seeks to have invited and contributed papers dealing with recent numerical simulations, case studies and theoretical as well as modelling perspectives of the problem.

Please note that the deadline for the abstract submission is 14 Feb 2023. Abstract submission page: https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2023/public.asp?page=submit_abstracts.asp Session Description: Recent Advance in Understanding Ionospheric Disturbances and Irregularities Link to Waves from Below Ionospheric space weather was originally considered to be driven by solar activities. However, in the last decades, scientists realized more about another branch of space weather related to the natural and anthropogenic activities that occur on our Earth, such as terrestrial weather activities, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and rocket launches. These natural and anthropogenic sources can generate various spatial and temporal scales of atmospheric waves and disturbances propagating upward into the upper atmosphere, significantly influencing the neutral wind, temperature, the constituent structure of the atmosphere, and even the global thermosphere/ionosphere circulation. The most ubiquitous and frequently observed ionospheric signatures related to atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves are traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) and irregularities (e.g., plasma bubbles). The significant ionospheric changes can impact our navigation and communication systems. Understanding how the atmosphere waves reach the upper atmosphere and cause variations in the space environment around Earth is critical for understanding the day-to-day or momentary variability of the ionosphere and advancing the ability of space weather forecasts. This section welcomes observational and theoretical modeling studies that describe the recent progress of the ionospheric disturbances and irregularities linked to waves originating from below, as well as the understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms governing the day-to-day and momentary variabilities of mid- and low-latitude ionosphere.

As many of you are aware, in late September 2022, there was a fire at the RBO that resulted in the operations control center at the site burning down. The fire did NOT affect the RISR-N and C faces, or the generators powering the radars. However, we lost critical instrumentation to operate the radars, auxiliary optical and RF instruments hosted at the RBO, and the generators powering the site. Given that we are approaching solar maximum, our highest priority is to get the ISR capability restored at the site. To that end, we are working on a temporary solution to restore partial site power, network access, and the capability to run RISR-N for limited pre-scheduled experiments by Fall 2023. Due to the constraints posed by limited site power, we will be unable to run experiments that need quick scheduling this year, e.g. in response to a developing solar event, but we will plan to pre-schedule and run the radar for as much time as possible. We are also working on plans and the timeline for restoring the full site power leading to the capability to run RISR-N more flexibly, and the capability to host auxiliary instruments. We will inform the community once we have firmer plans for these. We appreciate the patience and support from the scientific community, as any work at Resolute Bay has significant constraints driven hugely by the weather, available transportation options and limited local resources , affecting the timeline for restoration. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any concerns or questions.

Here is the description: GH2 Plasma Instabilities in the Ionosphere. Session Description: Plasma instabilities in the high, middle, and low latitude ionosphere play a key role in the development and evolution of structures in the Geospace environment, including processes in both the E and F regions. They often are associated with irregularities which can be experimentally observed using radar and radio techniques, as well as in-situ observations. Linear and non-linear theory is often used to predict instability thresholds, amplitudes, and velocities. Simulations have recently been quite successful in the detailed study of irregularity micro-structure, time evolution, and k-space behavior. This session encourages discussion of new developments in the theoretical, simulation, and experimental observations relevant to the study and understanding of ionospheric plasma instabilities.

Abstract submission deadline Thursday 25th January, 23:59 Brussels time. Please consider to submit your latest achievements or a review paper to session: *G12 - Ionosphere monitoring & modeling review:* The ionosphere is a highly variable medium with dependencies on geographic location, time of day, season, solar and geomagnetic activity. It is most important because it reflects and modifies radio waves used for communication and navigation. Space Weather influences the ionosphere in many ways, which, in turn, have adverse effects on telecommunication and navigation. Commission G focuses on ionospheric studies in order to provide the broad understanding necessary to support space and ground-based radio communications. This session aims to solicit review contributions from the earliest studies of ionospheric morphology to transforming advancements in diagnostic techniques, ionospheric modeling, theory and radio system applications. This session is in memory of the huge contribution of Pat Doherty to the field. *Please visit the conference website https://www.ursi-gass2023.jp/ and submit your abstract to our session by 23 January 2023.* Looking forward to receiving your contribution.

Please check the meeting website at https://www.iugg2023berlin.org/home-2/ for additional details. We draw your attention to this session of interest. Session: JA05 Solar Influence on the Atmosphere and Climate (Joint session of the IAGA & IAMAS commissions) Conveners: Christoph Jacobi, Luc Dam?, Odele Coddington Session Description The role of the Sun?s influence on past climate as well as in future climate variability keeps attracting much interest presently. State of the art climate models now include a well resolved stratosphere and mesosphere. This allows the prediction of global climate and its changes taking into account expected solar related variability, particularly in the ultraviolet, at short to long time scales. In the middle and upper atmosphere solar related electromagnetic and particle variability is one dominant forcing mechanism for atmospheric variability at time scales from days to decades. In this session we aim to stimulate discussion on the solar variability that drives Earth-system change on time scales from days to centuries. We welcome results from observations, including observations of solar radiation, theoretical work and modeling efforts that facilitate the implementation of solar irradiance in Earth science applications and that quantify meteorological and solar effects on the lower, middle, and upper atmosphere. We also welcome discussions on new missions or observational means to address these issues. Advances in reconstructing past climate and in projecting future climate considering the role of extraterrestrial forcing are also desired.

For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit: https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2023/public.asp?page=home.asp Abstract submission deadline: 14 Feb 2023 Session Description: AS12- Passive and Active Sensing of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere The Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere above the tropopause (~10 km) maintains a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple vertically and horizontally in the atmosphere and ionosphere. Thus, remote sensing and in-situ sampling, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from ground-based as well as in-situ and satellite-borne observations, models, and relevant laboratory studies. It will include new sensing techniques and sensors, mission concepts, models currently being planned or under development, and the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. The meeting will be held in-person from July 30th? August 4th, 2023. Abstract submissions are open and due February 14th, 2023. For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2023/public.asp?page=home.asp We hope that you can accept our invitation to contribute a paper to our session and look forward to meeting you in Singapore at the 20th AOGS2023.
