Traditionally CEDAR DEI events are held at the end of the month, however, I was unable to host an event in April and would appreciate having a discussion with enough time before CEDAR to identify and try to resolve any last minute DEI concerns. For these reasons, the next CEDAR DEI session will be held *May 9 at 8:00 PM*. The Zoom details are listed below. Although there is a desire to focus on CEDAR 2024, please feel free to bring any other DEI topics to the table. Hope to see you there!

The posters are split into mesosphere lower thermosphere (MLT) and ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) categories and each judge to reviews 4-6 posters from one of those categories in addition to participating in deliberations to select winners for the 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 specific workshops since the first round of judging can be done with posters that have be uploaded to the CEDAR website. 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. Meals are provided for poster judges, so please indicate if you have any dietary restrictions. Thank you very much for your help with this!

We particularly seek short presentations on geospace multipoint observation analysis techniques, including Observing Systems Simulation Experiments (OSSEs). The workshop session will be held on Thursday, 13 June 1600-1800 PT, immediately before the CEDAR banquet. The Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) is a mission to study the coupling between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere/thermosphere system. GDC will address crucial scientific questions pertaining to the dynamic processes active in Earth's upper atmosphere; their local, regional, and global structure; and their role in driving and modifying magnetospheric activity. GDC will be the first mission to address these questions on a global scale due to its use of a constellation of spacecraft (6) that permit simultaneous multi-point observations. In this session we will have a panel describing the mission and Science Traceability Matrix (STM), followed by short presentations geospace multipoint observation analysis techniques, including Observing Systems Simulation Experiments (OSSEs). We are particularly interested to learn about tools for multipoint analysis and tools that still need to be developed. The science area these multipoint analysis techniques will address include: (1) Understanding how the high-latitude ionosphere-thermosphere system responds to variable solar wind/magnetosphere forcing. This includes plasma motion, particle precipitation, plasma density structures, and electromagnetic drivers. (2) Understanding how internal processes in the global ionosphere-thermosphere system redistribute mass, momentum, and energy. This includes electromagnetic drivers and ion-neutral coupling in driving plasma density variations at mid- and low latitudes, processes that create and dissipate horizontally propagating ionosphere and thermosphere structures, the connections between winds, temperature, and major neutral species density variations, and how seasonal variations and asymmetries in Earth's magnetic field and magnetospheric input affect the ionosphere-thermosphere system.

Our session will be occurring on Monday, June 10 at 13:30. Below is a brief description of the session: ?This session will focus on ionospheric scintillation in the presence of plasma density structures at the mid- to high-latitudes. Such plasma structuring is often enhanced during geomagnetically disturbed times (e.g., geomagnetic storms and auroral substorms), and causes increased scintillation compared to quiet times. Plasma density gradients set up by energetic particle precipitations, often from magnetotail activity, leads to both refractive and diffractive effects on radio waves propagating through the ionosphere from a GNSS satellite to a ground-based receiver. Here we aim to examine ionospheric plasma structure and stability in relation to GNSS phase and amplitude scintillation. Presentations on the development of plasma irregularities related to scintillation, the relationship between scintillation and broader geospace dynamics, and the specific processes of diffractive and refractive scintillation are encouraged.?

Quiet time and 2. Storm time. Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to join two CEDAR Workshops focused on the Ionosphere-Thermosphere (I-T) system studies, with an emphasis on "quiet time" and "storm time" respectively. The workshops will be held from 4-6 PM PT on Monday, June 10, and from 10 AM - 12 PM PT on Friday, June 14. The "quiet time" typically refers to a baseline state of the I-T system, characterized by intervals with low geomagnetic indices. We aim to explore whether the I-T system is at minimal disturbance levels in all aspects during this time. What preconditions are necessary for it to approach such an ideal state? We seek your insights on the I-T ground state in the first workshop. The storm-time I-T system has been a prominent topic in the CEDAR and Heliophysics communities. Recently, a super geomagnetic storm from May 10-12, 2024, has garnered global attention, highlighting storm effects and sparking significant public interest in space sciences. We invite discussions on the opportunities and challenges in I-T system studies during various geomagnetic storms, including the recent significant event.

Message-ID: The NASA DRIVE Center for Geospace Storms (CGS) will be hosting a Geospace Student Workshop that will be held Nov 17-20 at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD in concert with the CGS Community Workshop. The goal is to invite graduate students that have a foundation in their area of research, usually by having attended GEM or CEDAR, and this workshop would give them an opportunity for knowledge integration across all of geospace. We will have tutorial talks similar to student day at GEM and CEDAR, networking events, and a tutorial on using simulation and analysis tools developed by the CGS team, including the Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment (MAGE) model. Student-focused activities will primarily be the 17th and 20th, and students will attend the Community Workshop on the 18-19th. The Community Workshop will include talks from leading experts across the range of geospace regions and analysis techniques. There will be a limited number of travel grants to support student attendance, and self-funded students are also welcome. This cohort of graduate students will become the MAGIC (Mastering Analyses for Geospace, the Innovation Cohort).

Abstract submission: https://esww2024.org/home/abstracts/ (the deadline for oral abstract submissions is Thursday, 6th June 2024. Past this date, all submissions will be considered for poster presentation only). SWR4 - Interactions in the Earth?s Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere System and their space weather impact (https://esww2024.org/programme/parallel-sessions/#513a6cdfc88a1837d) Session details: The session focuses on the state-of-the-art understanding of the complex mechanisms ruling the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (M-I-T) coupling and how they translate into space weather impacts. Such an understanding is fundamental for the development of effective countermeasures against disruption, failure and deterioration of vulnerable technologies, such as GNSS critical applications, HF/VHF/UHF radio communications and LEO satellites operations. In order to forecast, warn, and mitigate adverse space weather effects, a better understanding of the M-I-T coupling plays a key role. It is essential to improve the prediction of: geomagnetic storm-time behaviour of the occurrence of spread-F, polar cap patches and scintillation phenomena that can degrade navigation and communication systems, thermospheric density variability affecting satellite drag and the enhancement of field-aligned currents, just to mention a few examples. Another crucial aspect of M-I-T coupling is the interhemispheric symmetric/asymmetric response to variable drivers that, if properly predicted, could support regional space weather modelling. Contributed papers may address (but are not limited to) recent developments in modelling and forecasting, monitoring methodologies, data analysis, measurement campaigns and international initiatives related to M-I-T coupling and associated threats on systems, at regional and global scales.

This session is scheduled for Thursday, June 13, 2024, 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 can be detected in the upper atmosphere. Additionally, man-made artificial, accidental, and intentional explosive events are also equally responsible for generating shock or acoustic wave signatures in the geospace environment. Observation and modeling 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 and artificial 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, non-nuclear explosions, nuclear detonations, rocket exhausts, 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 disasters. The detailed workshop info is here: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2024-workshop-hazards. If you want to contribute to our session, please let us know.

Workshop description: The state of ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) is hardly ever a mirror image of the other hemisphere even when considering differences due to season and Earth?s magnetic field. Among others, neutral wind and density, composition, ion drift, and plasma distribution, exhibit interhemispheric asymmetries (IHA) on temporal scales from hours to seasonal. Forcing from both magnetosphere-ionosphere (MI) coupling and lower atmosphere can contribute to IHA but it is still not well understood what constitutes a significant asymmetry and its cause. The effect of the strong high-latitude energy deposition on the IT system can be modulated by the background atmospheric state which is strongly affected by the vertical coupling to the lower atmosphere. Meanwhile, during meteorologically disturbed conditions, strong spatial and temporal variations in the wave spectrum and the background conditions lead to significant changes in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) and IT system. In this workshop, we will discuss the causes and effects of IHA in the upper atmosphere. We solicit contributions examining IHA in the MLT and IT regions to improve our understanding of the generation and impacts of interhemispheric asymmetries. More details can be found: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2024-workshop-interhemispheric-asymmetries-iha . Look forward to seeing you in CEDAR soon.

Aeronomy research in middle and subauroral latitudes encompasses a wide range of CEDAR research areas. The following perspectives are of particular interest: (1) Ionosphere-thermosphere climatology: an array of known anomalies exist in association with the seasonality, temporal evolution, geomagnetic configuration, and regional characteristics of the upper atmosphere. (2) Short-term variability: perturbations caused by wave and impulsive forcing from the lower atmosphere to Earth's surface, by transient solar-terrestrial processes (such as solar flares and eclipses), as well as those not immediately known, form a comprehensive opportunity to investigate short-term ionospheric variability associated with day-to-day variability, atmospheric waves, traveling ionospheric disturbances, sporadic E, descending layers, and irregularities. (3) Geospace storm perspective: Geospace regions serve as the interface region and pathway that connects the high-latitude energy deposition and low-latitude stops. Storm time disturbance winds, compositions, and electrodynamics have fundamental influences on the I-T system. Beyond this, unique M-I-T coupling processes exist at mid-latitudes: substantial subauroral electrodynamics (SAPS), density gradient structures (SED, midlatitude main trough, etc), and optical anomalies (SAR arc and STEVE). This session invites researchers to engage in discussions on middle and subauroral latitude science, exploring the diverse perspectives mentioned earlier. Presentations can focus on periods of observational campaigns coordinated regionally or globally for variability or storm studies. Presentations are also sought to showcase recent research and advancements in this field utilizing both observations and model simulations. Additionally, studies focusing on closely related regions are encouraged. To foster dynamic and fruitful discussions, presenters are strongly encouraged to limit their presentations to 6-7 slides.

Cheers, -Matt Zettergren (on behalf of this year?s head judges) =============================================================================================== CEDAR colleagues, The 2024 CEDAR workshop student poster competition has a very large number of posters and the head judges would like to request volunteers for judging activities. The posters are split into mesosphere lower thermosphere (MLT) and ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) categories and each judge to reviews 4-6 posters from one of those categories in addition to participating in deliberations to select winners for the 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 specific workshops since the first round of judging can be done with posters that have be uploaded to the CEDAR website. 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. Meals are provided for poster judges, so please indicate if you have any dietary restrictions. Thank you very much for your help with this!

This session will be held on Tuesday, June 11th from 13:30-15:30 hrs in Westcoast room in conjunction with "Using geospace data and software in research for open science ". Geospace phenomena are inherently multi-scale and multidimensional processes, whether measured or simulated. Traditionally, 2D analysis techniques have been used for the characterization and visualization of such data. However, with the advent of robust and widely available virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and spatial computing tools, a novel research paradigm presents itself to the CEDAR community. These advanced visualization tools, along with novel data expressions and formats, are most commonly used to showcase the conclusions reached by traditional 2D means. We believe it is time to explore their potential for direct and intuitive data analysis, maintaining fidelity to both temporal and spatial scales. We seek abstract contributions related to the use of three-dimensional or higher-dimensional data in Geospace science. This includes, but is not limited to, eclipse paths, ionospheric pseudosurfaces, satellite tracking, vertical coupling, traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), and atmospheric gravity waves. Projects that already utilize advanced volumetric (or auditory) data expressions, including virtual, mixed/augmented reality, or sonification, are particularly welcome. Recognizing the early adoption stage of these tools in geosciences, we also encourage submissions from authors who have not previously used ?3D tools. Contributions may be submitted to the conveners in the form of 3D files (.stl, .obj, .glb, .gltf) or point clouds (.ply, .laz, or .csv with columns for X, Y, Z, and colormap). These files will be presented in virtual reality during the session using a Valve Index VR headset, an Apple Vision Pro, and smartphone/tablet-based mixed reality tools. Prospective contributors are encouraged to contact the conveners directly to coordinate their data presentations. For questions or inquiries, please contact Kristina Collins (kvcollins at spacescience.org) or Jaime Aguilar (aguilaj9 at erau.edu). We look forward to your participation and contributions to this exciting exploration of advanced visualization tools in geospace science. Thank you on behalf of the conveners, ??

Abstract submission: https://esww2024.org/home/abstracts/ (the deadline for oral abstract submissions is Thursday, 6th June 2024. Past this date, all submissions will be considered for poster presentation only) Session: Solar and lightning forcing of the ionospheric D-layer: recent developments & results Convenors: Carine Briand, Mark Clilverd, Tamal Basak, Liliana Macotela The ionospheric D layer is one of the most misunderstood regions of Earth's environment, although it controls the absorption of certain radio waves and connects the neutral atmosphere to the magnetosphere and radiation belts. Disturbances to its electron density can lead to HF communication disruptions, a threat considered by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The session focuses on two types of natural forcing: solar flares and lightning. Solar flares produce the largest perturbations in D-layer electron density of all transient events. Lightning induces precipitation of electrons in the D layer, either by direct heating of the lower ionosphere or by wave-particle coupling in the radiation belts. The discovery of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs, such as sprites, elves, and gigantic jets) above thunderstorm areas has heightened interest in studies of the relationships between thunderstorms and the lower ionosphere. Speakers are invited to present analysis of recent solar flares, as the solar maximum is approaching, and lightning events. The focus will be given to scientific results but also to new techniques for real-time processing and post-processing, particularly for detection of the weak signals due to sprites/elves. The second aim of the session is to discuss the impact of the D-layer disturbances on HF absorption. HF users are thus invited to present their needs and operational constraints.

This workshop focuses on ionospheric responses in the auroral zone contributing to system-science characterizations of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT). The heterogeneous nature of this response requires the use of a variety of observations from diverse platforms. Recent and ongoing development of new tools for incorporating data from distributed multi-instrument, multi-platform heterogeneous sources is facilitating improved understanding of auroral dynamics, new science from combining observations in novel ways, and the inclusion of these derived datasets into state-of-the art models and data assimilation techniques. Machine learning studies are being conducted using available databases to explore relationships between ionospheric flows, field-aligned currents, and conductivity patterns. Physics-based and data-driven ionospheric modeling using data reconstructions of ionospheric energy inputs from multiple, distributed, and heterogeneous measurements, including simultaneous use of in situ and remote sensing techniques, has been used for system science related to non-ideal arcs and the dynamics that govern them as well as MIT coupling dynamics both across spatial and temporal scales and altitude regimes. This workshop aims to gather interested members of the community together to share recent research and discuss results and future developments in a collaborative setting. It will be structured as a series of short (3-5 minute) presentations within a shared slide deck that highlight recent research with significant time at the end for moderated group discussion that will reflect on these contributions. Main Topics: * Heterogeneous data products and multi-instrument observations ? What new data products and multi-instrument observation modalities are available? * Scientific output from heterogeneous data ? What new science results have come from considering multiple or combined datasets, including those from machine learning, numerical modeling, and traditional data analysis? * Data infrastructure for heterogeneous data ? What currently exists and what are the needs so these data products can be efficiently created, shared, and attributed to maximize scientific output and collaboration? Anyone interested in showing a few slides should contact Leslie Lamarche (leslie.lamarche at sri.com) so topics can be grouped and organized in advance, but all are welcome to participate in the open discussion! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We welcome and encourage you to take place in the 'Advances in Ionospheric and Thermospheric Data Assimilation session at CEDAR 2024 on Monday from 4 to 6 pm. This workshop focuses on data assimilation, which is the art and science of combining imperfect and sparse measurements with incomplete models to estimate the most likely state of the system. There is a spectrum of methods that trade accuracy, complexity, and computational effort for understandability. The ionosphere and thermosphere are tightly coupled and both affect critical technologies for our space-faring society. The thermosphere perturbs the orbits of all Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites through drag. Drag is the most variable aspect of LEO orbit prediction, so better understanding the thermosphere results in better predicting LEO orbits. This is crucial since LEO is becoming crowded with controlled spacecraft as well as debris which could collide and make LEO unusable. The ionosphere is also highly variable and can harm satellites and signals that pass through it. The ionosphere also enables technologies like High Frequency (HF) communications and Over The Horizon (OTH) radar which both refract signals off the ionosphere that return to earth much farther away than would be possible for line-of-sight communications. For both domains, it is crucial to hindcast, nowcast, and forecast the state of the system. This is done by combining both novel and established measurements and models. Typically, there is not enough data to specify the system at all places and all times. Assimilation can fill these gaps by adjusting global models to best fit the available measurements. Assimilation can also use parameterized representations of the system to reduce the state space. Since assimilation is vital to our continued utilization and exploration of space, it is also vital to coordinate efforts for continued study within the CEDAR community. We will provide a forum for such discussion as part of the overall workshop agenda.
