CEDAR email: Provide Feedback to NSF on Antarctic geospace science support by Oct 27

[Zhonghua Xu]

Dear all:
AGU is collecting feedback to provide to NSF on science support for
Antarctica, including geospace/space weather research via this form
(deadline Oct 27): https://tinyurl.com/acs83trj

This is in response to the dramatic reductions in logistical support for
current and future Antarctic experiments (
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23117/nsf23117.jsp?org=NSF).

If you operate or plan to operate instruments in Antarctica, assimilate
Antarctic data into your models (e.g., obtained via databases such as
MADRIGAL or SuperMAG), or otherwise require southern hemisphere
measurements for your data analysis and modeling, please consider
responding to this form. Custom responses are preferred, but please also
feel free to use this sample text under the “Please describe the impact of
NSF’s announcement on your science…”:

“Antarctica is an essential Earth-based region for achieving an
understanding of geospace phenomena and physical processes in Earth’s polar
regions. Only on Antarctica can the highest geographic and geomagnetic
regions of Earth be reached and studied with instruments.   Without
frontier measurements in Antarctica – and theory and models derived from
such measurements – comprehensive understanding of Earth’s upper atmosphere
and ionosphere (space weather around Earth) would not only be incomplete,
but would be impossible to achieve.”

Thank you so much for the support!

Best regards,
Zhonghua
