From jason.derr at westpoint.edu Sun Jun 1 10:46:13 2025 From: jason.derr at westpoint.edu (Derr, Jason R Dr) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2025 16:46:13 +0000 Subject: CEDAR email: CEDAR Scintillation Workshop! Message-ID: Hello upcoming CEDAR 2025 attendees! We are inviting you to participate and submit short presentations to our CEDAR workshop "Ionospheric Scintillation and Plasma Density Irregularities: Impacts on Space Weather" (https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2025-workshop-ionospheric-scintillation-and-plasma-density-irregularities). The scope of the scintillation session has been expanded by comparison with last year, without the limitation of mid-to-low latitudes, and with an emphasis on space weather. 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. 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 and the specific processes of diffractive and refractive scintillation are encouraged. Please reach out to jason.derr at westpoint.edu if you are interested in delivering a presentation on your research at our session! Sincerely, Jason Derr Leslie Lamarche Diana Loucks Toshi Nishimura Matthew Zettergren [cid:1367cdb5-7ae6-4db8-8d19-5ad25ff1744f] Book time to meet with me -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu Thu Jun 5 12:02:41 2025 From: Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu (Cohen, Ian J.) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2025 18:02:41 +0000 Subject: CEDAR email: Heliophysics Call-to-Action Message-ID: <9D9A7E94-7328-4DF9-A0D3-0FB68834D8EA@jhuapl.edu> Dear colleagues: The President?s Budget Request (PBR) for FY 2026 (1 October 2025 - 30 September 2026) has now been released. It offers a stark picture for the future of Heliophysics in the USA. Both NASA and NSF face severe and sweeping cuts that impact the entire range of activities that our community performs, from basic research to instrumentation, including both our space-based Heliophysics fleet and our ground-based facilities. Similar cuts are expected for NOAA and other agencies based on media reporting. Cuts of the magnitude proposed will stifle the training of new heliophysicists, and will largely obviate the bold and forward-looking recommendations of the 2024 National Academies Solar and Space Physics Decadal Survey. Full details of the proposed budgets can be found at NASA and NSF. While the FY26 budget details for the Department of Commerce have not yet been released, similar reductions to the proposed NOAA budget are expected. It is important to stress that this is a proposed budget. There are still several steps to take place before an enacted budget bill is achieved - i.e., funds are appropriated by Congress. Careful and targeted interventions at each stage of the budget process can help our community educate legislators and officials in the Executive branch as to the real-world impacts of what will occur if cuts of anything like the magnitudes proposed are made. Reducing, or even reversing, these proposed cuts is still something that our community can help achieve. Our community must not be complacent. To that end, the Heliophysics Coalition (the AAS/Solar Physics Division Public Policy Committee, the AGU/Space Physics and Aeronomy section?s Advocacy Committee, and our institutional partners) has been working to gain a better understanding as to what specific messaging is likely to be well-received by Congress and thus help the House and Senate Appropriations committees reach a more reasonable budget. Our next planned activity is on June 17th, where we and some 50 community members, representing over 30 congressional districts and states, will visit targeted House and Senate offices. Our key, focused, messages on that visit will be: (1) We must maintain the U.S. leadership in science, and specifically in space physics and space weather, that has persisted for decades. These proposed agency budgets will cede that leadership to other nations, with consequences for our allies and benefits for our adversaries. (2) Maintaining a robust Heliophysics portfolio of research is important not only for basic science, but (in large part due to space weather impacts) also crucial for national security, maintaining critical infrastructure, and the success of the Administration?s ambitious human exploration priorities to the Moon and Mars. Specific heliophysics messaging includes the fact that our community?s research is impactful, and collectively will directly lead to: ? better nowcasts and forecasts of space weather effects that can impact communications, satellites, power grids, and astronauts; ? development of protections and mitigations against effects on space- and ground-based critical infrastructure; ? predicting conditions in, and exploitation of, the space environment, including very low earth orbit (VLEO); ? characterization of energetic particles resulting from potential high-altitude nuclear explosions; and ? progress developing fusion power (3) A balanced portfolio of Heliophysics research, from PI-level grants, through a steady cadence of technology innovation initiatives and Explorers, to Flagship missions, is critical in preserving U.S. leadership in space science. The technical expertise of staffing at the pertinent agencies is also crucial to achieve this. (4) Our field helps to create a scientifically literate U.S. workforce, which aids the nation and economy at-large, not just within Heliophysics. We must be able to continue training the next generation of scientists, technologists, and innovators. We need your help! Below you can find information about how to find contact information for your Congressional Representatives and Senators. We urge you to join the effort by calling these offices and urging your elected officials to carefully consider the impacts of the proposed cuts, and to act to restore the science budgets at agencies like NASA and NSF to current enacted levels. Your family members and friends can also call; every voice helps. Note that you DO NOT need to be a U.S. citizen to advocate; your representative/senator represents all those who live in their district/state, regardless of their citizenship. With the messaging above in mind, PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: (1) call your Representative and Senators; (2) request a $9B FY26 appropriation for NASA SMD, including $955M for the Heliophysics Division; (3) request a $9.9B FY26 appropriation for NSF, including at least $1.6B for the Geosciences Directorate; and (4) encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to call to make the same requests. These figures are in line with longstanding AAS/AGU requests. Maximum impact will occur when the community speaks with one voice, using the messages above. A unified message is far more impactful than many disparate messages. From experience, and as a result of recent meetings with legislative staff, we believe that the messages above will be the most effective (but watch out for updates as we continue our advocacy efforts). Of course, tying the specific impacts of your own work to these high-level objectives, and emphasizing the impact of the proposed cuts on your local community and/or state are also good to include. Given the timeline for legislative action, input to the Appropriations process must be delivered well in advance of 14th July, so now is the time to contact your Representatives. Sincerely, Graham Kerr, Ian Cohen, Gordon Emslie, and Brian Walsh on behalf of the Heliophysics Coalition ?---------------------------------------------- How to find your Representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative How to find your Senator: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm Calling is more effective than writing.

AGATA is a Scientific Research Programme of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). It will run for eight years and will also prepare the community for the 5th International Polar Year. AGATA takes advantage of existing and planned instrumentation in Antarctica, but also in the Arctic and satellite-based observations, and it aims for coordinated research efforts and data exchange. This bi-polar perspective will allow the study of interhemispheric asymmetries in the atmospheric response observed in the polar regions. To learn more visit the AGATA webpage: https://scar.org/science/research-programmes/agata After a successful kick-off-meeting a couple of months ago, several persons, among them many Early Career Researchers, have been nominated for leadership positions in AGATA. Now, AGATA members are electing AGATA governance: leaders of Working Groups and Task Groups. Elections are open until 22 June 2025, 23:59 GMT. All members of AGATA will receive the unique link to participate in elections. If you are not AGATA member yet, you can always join AGATA by filling the registration form under this link: https://nettskjema.no/a/agata-registration and participate in AGATA activities. If you become a member before 22 June, you will also receive invitation to participate in the AGATA elections.
