CEDAR email: Workshop on Coupling Studies toward IPY 2032-2033

[XINZHAO CHU]

Dear CEDAR Community,

We would like to invite you to attend a CEDAR workshop entitled “atmosphere-space coupling studies with advanced observations and numerical modeling towards IPY 2032-2033” on Tuesday (June 11) 10am-12pm at Room Harborside in San Diego.

The International Polar Years (IPY) are collaborative international efforts of understanding the polar processes that play key roles in making the Earth habitable and sustainable for life. Though the 5th IPY in 2032-2033 is still eight years away, the preparation work has started. It is absolutely crucial for the US community of aeronomy and geospace sciences to step up investment in enhancing infrastructure and building pipeline to the workforce if we want to lead the IPY efforts. This task is urgent because many instruments in Antarctica are facing tremendous challenges and increasing failures due to lack of investment. Moreover, the reduced Antarctic deployment is hindering the trainings of next-generation scientists and engineers who will be the workforce for IPY.

This CEDAR workshop aims to provide a platform for the community’s input on the preparation for the IPY 2032-2033 and solicit the community’s support to enhancing infrastructure and pipeline. In particular, lidars in Antarctica have been making eye-opening discoveries, especially in the atmosphere-space coupling with lidar measurements covering up to ~190 km. These lidars along with all-sky imagers and FPIs as well as radio remote sensing observations are providing crucial data to the studies of various geomagnetic storms including the Mother’s Day storm. However, new infrastructure and support is definitely needed to continue making these crucial measurements and training younger generations towards leading the IPY efforts.
