Best regards, Asti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues, We are reaching out to AI/ML specialists, heliophysics scientists and software engineers who are interested in participating in interdisciplinary applied research this summer. The research is a paid engagement that runs during the academic holiday and publishable research is an explicit outcome. The applications close on May 19. FDL-X is a public private partnership with NASA, Trillium Technologies, Google Cloud, NVIDIA and leaders in commercial AI, with logistics support provided by the SETI Institute. This heliophysics pilot initiative is a derivative of the successful Frontier Development Lab (FDL) and will develop integrated applied AI research and technology for Heliophysics applications, building on a body of NASA data and AI pipelines generated during fdl.ai and hosted on SpaceML.org. Research details The FDL-X Integration challenge utilizes previous FDL projects as base components which will be matured individually and then integrated to solve one of the following challenges: * Thermospheric drag and atmospheric density projections: Can we improve thermospheric drag models by integrating EUV irradiance models from FDL 2022: 4Pi Sun (4 EUV channels) and FDL 2018 (9 EUV channels) and combine with FDL 2019 to address missing channels? (Providing these models as input, along with SDO images to improve density projections.) * ARD EUV data. Can we develop ARD products (Analysis ready data) of EUV irradiance for the community? This work builds on the work of SDOML and 4Pi (FDL 2022) which showed the ability to predict EUV irradiance at any vantage point around the Sun. * Hyperlocal geoeffectiveness: Can we improve regional accuracy and forecast horizon of geoeffectiveness, improving on FDL?s DAGGER pipeline? * Use the BSS methodology (Savani et al 2015, 2017) to derive CME speed, magnetic field and density (pressure) at L1 [2-3 days in advance] * L1 estimates are propagated to the magnetopause via NOAA tool (Cash et al. 2016) or similar method. * Magnetopause inputs are provided to a DAGGER derivative. * DAGGER outputs dB/dt forecast at regional level In addition, we will explore broader questions of integration and process innovation: Can we integrate machine learning pipelines in a meaningful way? Determination of one final challenge and the maturation process of the individual components will take place during the Challenge Decomposition Phase in early June with input from FDL-X faculty and researchers. FIND OUT MORE HERE! https://frontierdevelopmentlab.org/fdl-x-2023 If any AI/ML specialists, heliophysics scientists and software engineers would like to apply they can apply here: https://frontierdevelopmentlab.org/apply (interviews are currently taking place, so please apply now). If this sparks your interest, check our FDL.ai and read through additional key information included at the end of this email. Please share this opportunity with any of your colleagues and networks that might be interested. If you have any questions relating to the FDL-X program, please email Cesi at cesi at trillium.tech Ad astra per algorithmos Anne Spalding US Program Director FDL USA FURTHER INFORMATION Key details: * FDL-X is a program for PhD and PostDoc level researchers. * FDL-X participants receive a stipend to support their participation * FDL research often leads to published work (such as Science Advances and ApJ) and outputs are shared at AGU, NeurIPS, AAAI, NASA conferences - as well as partner events like Google Cloud?s NEXT and Nvidia?s GTC. * Engage in cutting-edge research and deployment programs in AI, space and Heliophysics. * Work closely with experts in the problem domain and experts in ML. * Meet and work with experts from FDL partners (NASA, ESA, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Planet, Oxford University, SCAN, Berkeley Lab and many others). * Here?s an overview of FDL?s Research Outputs from 2022: US - Europe. * Researchers and faculty contract with the SETI Institute (FDL?s logistics provider.) * FDL?s day-to-day operations are run by Trillium Technologies Inc, acting as FDL. About FDL-X FDL-X is an advanced applied AI research program for Heliophysics applications and ensures that AI outcomes are fine-tuned to tackle valid open science and engineering problems by building interdisciplinary approaches, between SMEs and ML and cloud-based engineering techniques. The summer research integrated sprint will be based on previous FDL work (TRL 0-4) and technology and mature to (TRL 4-6) with an emphasis on tooling, modular development, reproducibility and testing the potential for integrated AI solutions, where proven AI pipelines inform each other to unlock brand new capabilities. FDL-X Helio will be a 8-week full-time paid effort and the work will be carried out over three phases: * Definition Phase: Challenge development, data prep and team building * Research Phase: Sprint development and integration * Publication Phase: Results refinement and publication [image.png] There will be three FDL-X 2023 teams, each team will be made up of three participants with a mix of AI/ML specialists, heliophysics scientists and software engineers, and a faculty of experts will be assembled around each of the challenges. The teams will establish close links with scientists, researchers, industry organizations, partners, external experts and stakeholder Definition Phase The program will start with a ?problem decomposition? virtual meeting that will be held in early June over three days. The overall goal is to examine how discrete AI pipelines and / or tools can work together in an integrated fashion to tackle more ambitious capability gaps to a clear and present problem, as well as scoping data sources (scale, availability and other factors), test algorithms and fine-tune the computing workbench, identify any other tools needed, and define success metrics prior to the highly focused 7-week sprint starting in early July. Each challenge is broken into four components: Data collection (data engineering), Data pre-processing (data engineering), model train/evaluation (ML engineering), deploy, monitor and maintain (MLOPS engineering). Definition Phase Research Phase The 7-week integrated sprint will run between June - August 2023 and will support the natural progression of the results through development, pipeline, prototype, integration, calibration, improvement and Demo. Each week is carefully curated with a unique character, objective and energy, with an ?Integration Week? in week four, designed to be the moment that the independent research streams are brought together for the first time. During this time the research increases in technology readiness level, guided by formal and informal reviews at the end of each week and the teams will share their first rough demos mid-August. Publication Phase There will be a month of refinement to allow the teams to focus on polishing results by continuing to review and improve on their work - with specific focus on code clean-up for reproducibility. This is important for ensuring the validity and reliability of the research outcomes This will also give them the opportunity to create excellent documentation and revise their draft technical memos and publications with the latest findings, in preparation for the teams to share back coherent solutions with fully integrated components during a showcase with selected NASA stakeholders towards the end of September and a submission of their finalized technical memos for AGU and NeurIPS. Please share with your colleagues and networks that might be interested in joining. AI/ML specialists, heliophysics scientists and software engineers can apply here: https://frontierdevelopmentlab.org/apply (interviews currently taking place).

The session is scheduled for Thursday, June 29, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM (PDT) in Room West Coast. Through tutorial talks, recent science results, and discussions this session welcomes modeling and observational investigations that explore the coupling between terrestrial weather and the ITM system across scales, particularly during times of altered SPV. Most relevant contributions will address: (1) What are the impacts on the ITM system from terrestrial weather associated with altered SPV conditions? How do they depend on the strength of the polar vortex? How do they vary with altitude and geographic region? (2) What are the primary physical mechanisms that connect SPV variability with ITM variability? What are the temporal and spatial scales most relevant for this coupling? What are the comparative roles of tides, gravity waves, planetary waves, and ultra-fast Kelvin waves in this forcing? What are the effects of solar and geomagnetic preconditioning in the coupling? (3) How well do state-of-the-art models perform across different spatio-temporal scales and what is the impact of data assimilation on model performance? Interested speakers are encouraged to contact Federico Gasperini (federico.gasperini at orionspace.com) or one of the co-convenors by next Thursday, May 18, and indicate whether they plan to be attending in person or remotely.

Contributions to the upper atmospheric dynamics and the ionospheric irregularities by the ubiquitous gravity waves? modulations with various scales have been recognized and studied intensively over the past decades. The associated dynamical features, such as Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI), can further induce considerable variations in this region. Their horizontal scales have been found to vary from around a few tens of km to several thousand kilometers. The impacts of small-scale features, frequently observed in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, are believed to be as significant as those of larger scale waves in the thermosphere and ionosphere, because of their fast phase speeds and the high momentum density they are carrying. The dynamical behaviors under atmospheric instability conditions, changing the laminar flow to turbulence flow, are especially important and enticing, when the energy and momentum transfer between them and the mean flow occurs, altering larger-scale dynamic features and potentially triggering some of the most significant ionospheric irregularities. Various state-of-art ground-based, airborne and space borne experimental investigations have been dedicated to the investigations on this topic in the past decade, facilitated by many advanced regional and global numerical models. While considerable progress in understanding their contributions to the energy and momentum budget in the thermosphere ionosphere have been achieved, more and more unknown physics and dynamic processes have also been revealed in these observations. In addition, the lack of global coverage, and the limited observed gravity wave spectrum further limit the community?s progress in the understanding of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere (IT) gravity wave coupling. In this workshop, we will discuss the gaps, challenging problems and coordinated approaches of addressing the role of gravity waves in the mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere coupling. The workshop will provide a community-wide platform for open discussions on the new coordinated investigations and campaigns to improve the understanding of these waves full contributions to the global IT system.

We invite you to contribute lightening type presentations of your recent results focusing on IHA caused by magnetosphere-ionosphere and/or lower atmosphere coupling and its IT impact. For scheduling, we request that interested speakers contact one of the conveners by the end of May. We encourage participation and contributions from students and early career scientists.

Best regards, Astrid Maute (astrid.maute at colorado.edu) on behalf of the conveners (Yue Deng, Lynn Harvey, Qingyu Zhu, Yun-Ju Chen, Rich Collins, Aaron Ridley, Guiping Liu, Sevag Derghazarian) Session Description: In the I-T system, interhemispheric Asymmetries (IHA) take many forms. Observations have revealed that IHA manifested via particle precipitation and conductivity, auroral patterns, substorm occurrence and locations, field-aligned currents, ionospheric electric potentials, magnetic field geometries, ionospheric and thermospheric neutral and plasma characteristics, and atmospheric waves from the lower atmosphere. Understanding IHA is critical for understanding the IT system to the forcing from both above and below. Despite the now-known importance and ubiquity of IHA, their properties have not been thoroughly examined or documented. The lack of IHA input to models has prevented simulations from testing their impact on the global I-T system. Also simulation capabilities for handling IHA are significantly limited. Furthermore, impacts of IHA have not been quantified or reproduced. This workshop focuses on quantifying interhemispheric differences observed in the IT system and understanding their causes and importance for the upper atmosphere. With the available observations and sophisticated numerical modeling capabilities we are in a better position now to study the IHA. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This workshop will explore current and future experimental capabilities for the study of the mid-latitude Geospace environment. Instrumentation used at mid-latitudes needs to combine detailed plasma and neutral atmosphere measurements with the meso-scale fields of view necessary to specify boundary conditions. Scientific progress requires co-located networks of instrumentation that include both radio and radar systems, optical imaging arrays, orbital platforms, and in-situ measurements made using rocket instrumentation. Experimental measurement of physical parameters of the ionosphere and neutral atmosphere are critical to scientific progress in key areas such as ionospheric variability, storm response and recovery, plasma instabilities, sporadic-E layer formation, sub-auroral polarization streams and drifts, and atmospheric coupling. We will discuss what is possible with current instrumentation systems, near term developments that are currently underway, and longer term visions for a comprehensive set of experimental capabilities at mid-latitudes. Efforts relevant to the upcoming Eclipse in April of 2024 are of particular interest. The sessions will consist of short presentations with moderated discussion. A portion of the workshop will focus on coordination of efforts associated with the upcoming April 2024 North American eclipse. Please contact one of the conveners by June 9th if possible to be added to the agenda. Contributions from students and early career scientists are welcome.

Cheers, -MZ =================================================================================================== The 2023 CEDAR workshop student poster competition has a very large number of posters this year and the head judges would like to request volunteers for poster judging activities. The posters are split into mesosphere lower thermosphere (MLT) and ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) categories and we typically ask each judge to review 2-4 posters from one of those categories in addition to participating in deliberations to select winners for that day. The judging process begins at noon on Tuesday or Wednesday of the workshop (depending on MLT vs. IT) and usually lasts roughly until dinner time so it is a substantial time commitment but also a very rewarding experience and important part of the workshop. Judges typically serve for one of these days and should be able to mostly schedule their judging responsibilities around needs to attend specific workshops on that day. If you would like to participate in the judging please email Matt Zettergren (zettergm at erau.edu) and indicate your preference of MLT vs. IT or which day you are available. If possible also indicate a basic area of expertise (e.g. ?thermosphere modeling? or ?radio instruments? etc.) to help us with the assignment process. Thank you very much for your help with this!

In high-latitude, the auroral electrojet (AEJ), which has remarkable strength and persistence, drives many of the high-latitude phenomena. In low-latitude, the equatorial electrojet (EEJ), the narrow band of enhanced eastward flowing currents, resides in a system of highly coupled neutrals and plasma. Many advances in the study of these currents have been done in the past few years. From the study of the EEJ using SWARM data, to the use of SuperMAG to aid AEJ current modeling, to the upcoming EZIE mission to study the mesoscale AEJ; the community has produced many investigations on the electrojet currents. This workshop aims to showcase the latest advances in the study of electrojet currents. This workshop will feature two 20-min tutorial talks and a set of new exciting results on the AEJ and EEJ. Student participation is strongly encouraged! Please contact one of the conveners by June 9th, if possible, to be added to the agenda.

The first session will be on recent progress in cold plasma research. All types of relevant contributions are welcome. The second session will be joint with the Focus Group ?Self-Consistent Inner Magnetospheric Modeling?. All types of relevant contributions are welcome. The third session will focus on the impact of the cold plasma on pulsating and diffuse aurora. Allison Jaynes will give a scene setting talk, followed by discussion with the audience. People interested in the connection between cold plasma and auroral forms (and more generally magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling) are strongly encouraged to participate in the discussion. The fourth session will focus on the topic ?The future of the Cold Plasma?. Here researchers will be limited to one slide emphasizing the ?what?, ?why?, ?why now? and ?how? of a given idea. Audience discussion will follow. Please contact Gian Luca Delzanno (delzanno at lanl.gov) if you are interested in contributing to any of these sessions. The specific format for the first two sessions will be communicated at a later time.

This session invites short presentations to (1) assess the state of the art of community models in terms of their ability to realistically represent variability across the range of spatial and temporal scales that are present in the middle and upper atmosphere; (2) quantify the benefits of data and data assimilation techniques toward improving modeled variability of and predictions in the thermosphere and ionosphere. The short presentations should be focused on advantages and benefits of existing and upcoming observational datasets, regardless of whether they are space borne or ground based. Presentations including theoretical work, modelling, data assimilation, and observational data analysis are all encouraged. An expected outcome of this workshop is a community-motivated discussion of the necessary observations, their coverage and quality for use in modern data assimilation systems.

This session is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28, 2023, from 13:30 - 15:30 PDT. 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. The detailed workshop info is here: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2023-workshop-natural-hazards. If you want to contribute to our session, please let us know.

The text is provided below. Thank you in advance! ?????????????????? Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to participate in the CEDAR Workshop ?Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai: Reflections on Efforts, Findings, and Challenges 1.5 Years Later Since the Eruption?. The CEDAR community demonstrates a marked interest in understanding the atmospheric effects of the 15 Jan. 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption, as is clear from the abundance of studies which have emerged in the past year. At the same time, the broader picture of natural hazard-related dynamics, and especially how they couple with the upper atmosphere, is still not fully understood or quantified. While current theories attempt to explain the mechanisms that result in the observed fluctuations and long-lived phenomena, additional work is necessary to verify and quantify the theories. This workshop will provide an opportunity to share and discuss the latest results and efforts towards understanding this event, potentially opening new challenges and opportunities in future investigations of the impact of natural hazards on Earth's geophysical system. The workshop targets a discussion of current and future need in observations and model advances to better quantify the propagation and evolution of natural hazard-driven mechanical waves in the atmosphere, their coupling and impacts. https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2023-workshop-hunga-tonga-hunga-haapai-reflections-efforts-findings-and-challenges-15 If you find an interest to give an oral presentation in this workshop, please contact the conveners.

Our two-hour session will be divided in three parts. The first 30-minutes would be dedicated to bringing the community up speed on STEVE-related research. We will have two fantastic speakers teaching us about measuring and modeling STEVE, SAIDs, and the sub-auroral region. The next hour will be dedicated to a discussion with a panel of experts around a very simple question: Are we ready to measure SAIDs faster than 5km/s?. We will end the session with a highlight of students' research. The full agenda can be found here: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2023-workshop-steve-mit-phenomenon We invite the community to join us in the discussion of STEVE and sub auroral science!

We are requesting short presentations on existing networks of instruments and capabilities, the unmet science needs that require networks of distributed instruments, and new ideas for networks. The agenda for the session will be as follows: 1. Short updates on status and data availability from existing networks of ground-based instruments 2. 0-1 slide presentations on unmet measurement needs that can be addressed by new networks of ground-based instruments 3. Short presentations and discussion on new ideas for ground-based instrument networks. Please reach out to any of the conveners listed below, if you would like to contribute in any part of this session. https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2023-workshop-distributed-instrument-networks Thanks, Asti Bhatt (asti.bhatt at sri.com) Jonathan Makela (jmakela at illinois.edu) Jenn Gannon (gannon at cpi.com) Olu Jonah (olu.jonah at sri.com) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you do not know, he passed away last November. While we cannot truly replace Dale, the world keeps spinning and we need to give it a try as this is a core competence for AFRL. At the same time, an exact replacement is not the objective. Below is the job announcement for a civilian position to try to fill that niche. I did not write it and notice it does not speak much directly to spacecraft charging, so there is much latitude, but charging is part of it. Please help me disseminate this announcement to the space science, EE, & charging community. https://airforcestem.recsolu.com/jobs/KEHaQ5Qn3z71gfIZwIt2sA?job_board_id=g193rQ-SUdupijEbTiPUvw Cheers david -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
