Elias (Argentina) *A13 Middle and upper atmosphere: From solar variability influence to long-term changes* In the middle and upper atmosphere, solar electromagnetic and particle variability is a dominant forcing mechanism for atmospheric variability at time scales from hours to decades. In addition, long-term changes of Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth?s atmosphere have caused warming in the troposphere, and cooling above it. Changes in Earth?s magnetic field and solar activity variations are also drivers of long-term changes in the middle and upper atmosphere. Note that in atmospheric science, long-term changes (or trends) indicate changes on a time scale longer than one solar cycle (?11 years). In this session we aim to stimulate discussion on the solar variability that drives Earth-system change on time scales from hours to centuries, and on long-term trends in the atmosphere-ionosphere system, in the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. We welcome results using ground based as well as satellite observations, model simulations, and theoretical analyses. We also invite studies on long term data quality and methods of determination of trends and solar effects on the atmosphere, and discussions on new missions or observations to address these issues. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dear Colleagues, ? The joint scientific assembly of IAGA / IASPEI is scheduled to take place at Lisbon, Portugal during 31 August to 5 September 2025. We invite abstracts for the following session during this joint scientific assembly. ? ? SESSION A14:?Advances in Mid-Latitude, Low-Latitude and Equatorial Aeronomy ? DESCRIPTION:?Papers are invited for a symposium on the recent developments in the field of equatorial, low-latitude and mid-latitude aeronomy from observational (ground-based and space-borne), theoretical and simulation studies. The Equatorial Electrojet, Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA), Equatorial Spread-F (ESF)/plasma bubbles, multiple F-layer stratifications, Solar quiet current system, ionospheric disturbances induced by geomagnetic storms (including its local magnetic effects), SSWs, present a strong daily, day-to-day, and seasonal variability, mainly caused by the ionospheric electrodynamics, thermospheric winds and wave actions (gravity waves, tides, planetary waves, TIDs and MSTIDs). Recent multi-instrument and multi-site observations, satellite borne experiments, as well as theoretical and simulation investigations have advanced our understanding of these phenomena, during both quiet and disturbed space weather conditions including geomagnetic storms, the recent storm of 10 May 2024, sub-storms, solar flares, solar eclipses, sudden stratospheric warmings and different meteorological events. The objective of this symposium is to bring together the experimentalists and theoreticians to survey the latest results, examine new ideas and concepts, and to pave the way for future directions in equatorial and low-latitude research. The session will include both solicited and contributed (oral and poster) papers. ? For abstract submission and more details, please visit?https://iaga-iaspei-2025.org/abstract-submission/ ?

Reported potential impacts include reductions in workforce at these agencies, impediments to grant funding and limitations on associated overhead charges, and drastic budget cuts. While we do not yet know if or how these impacts may manifest themselves for our funding agencies, we remain confident that our work is both necessary and appreciated by the public. This includes developing research results, transitioning actionable knowledge to operations, supporting and developing our workforce, and training the next generation to ensure continuity of scientific expertise and leadership. One way to empower ourselves in such uncertain times is to advocate. Given the rapid pace at which some of these changes are occurring ? especially regarding potential workforce reductions at critical agencies ? immediate action is necessary. The most impactful way to do this is to work with the government relations professionals at our institutions, who regularly interact with policymakers and other stakeholders on the Hill. In reaching out to them, it is important to a) ensure that they understand how and why solar and space physics is important to your institution and b) work with them to craft effective messaging that they can use when communicating with stakeholders and policymakers. Notably, this is unfortunately not an option for federal employee colleagues. As individuals, you can also contact your Congressional representatives directly; this is a right for all of us, including foreign nationals. If you are employed by the federal government, you must ensure that you are representing your views as a private citizen, not as an employee. Thus, please do not use company e-mail addresses or telephones. You can find contact information for your Representative at https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and your Senators at https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm. This can be done for both your home and work addresses to potentially increase your impact to different Congressional offices. To ensure consistency of messaging, we ask that your engagement be guided by the talking points provided below. Sending an email is an option, but making a phone call would potentially be much more effective; if you do call, it is best to write out your script or talking points in advance to best prepare a coherent and effective message. Feel free to amplify any topic(s) that you believe would resonate with your Representative or Senator, such as the impact of your work on the local community and/or state. In particular, emphasis should be placed on engaging Senators and Representatives ? especially Republicans- on the respective Appropriations and Authorization Committees (see lists at the end of this email). We also strongly encourage you to share this messaging and your personal story with friends, family, and colleagues, both publicly and privately, and to encourage others if they are willing to also reach out to their Representatives and Senators and amplify the support for our research. The grassroots Heliophysics Coalition, which operates jointly with AGU and AAS, is a resource that can help guide you in how to advocate effectively. If you have specific questions, we recommend reaching out to the points of contact for the Coalition, Ian Cohen (Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu ) and Gordon Emslie (gordon.emslie at wku.edu ). Suggested Talking Points: ? Your name and place of residence or work (include your full address if it is a voicemail so they can verify) ? U.S. needs to continue its decades-long investment in solar and space physics research. ? Space physics research enhances our understanding of Earth?s ?home in space?, enables space exploration, and has practical applications for our national security ? ?Space weather? effects on infrastructure can include impacts to communications networks, satellite operations and orbit prediction/tracking, power grids, GPS, etc. ? Space physics research is supported by a number of federal agencies, including NASA, NSF, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Department of Defense (DOD). ? Provide high-level details of your research at your institution, assuming a middle school-level of understanding. (Feel free to add details on where you get funding from ? e.g., NASA, NSF, etc.; how large your group, department, or lab is; and how your research funding affects the local area, students, etc. This is the portion where you need to get them to understand that this is a big deal to their district/state and not just you as an individual. ? Maintaining robust support within these agencies will allow the U.S. to maintain its world leadership in space and avoid possibly irreversible e?ects on our nation?s preeminence in this critical field. ? Specific and immediate concern that many departments and agencies that support and enable this research are currently undergoing rapid and substantial refocusing of their priorities. ? It is critical that the staffing at these agencies ? much of which has and requires highly specialized technical expertise - be maintained at a level that is commensurate with the scope of the important programs of research that they administer. ? Must ensure that the required technical expertise and staffing required to support space physics research is not forfeited within NASA Heliophysics Division, NSF Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, NOAA Office of Space Weather Observations, and pertinent areas within the DoD and DoE Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies ?

The scientific purpose of CEDAR and GEM is to study and understand Earth's upper atmosphere and the rest of the geospace environment, along with the space weather that impacts these regions. This understanding is critical to making ground-breaking scientific discoveries in the Sun-Earth system and aligns with the highest priority strategic goals of NSF and NASA. This work is also important to the security and prosperity of the United States and our global partners, as has been amply demonstrated by the extensive historical record of space weather events that have disrupted or even destroyed spacecraft -- most notably including the simultaneous loss of tens of commercial satellites in February 2022, as a result of a modest geomagnetic storm. Many of the departments and agencies that support and enable our work are currently undergoing rapid and substantial refocusing of their priorities. During the course of this, it is natural that we may experience uncertainty for the future of our field. One way to empower ourselves in uncertain times is to advocate. An impactful way to advocate is for us to work with the government relations professionals at our institutions, who regularly interact with policymakers and other stakeholders on the Hill. The grassroots Heliophysics Coalition, which operates jointly with AGU and AAS, is a great resource to help guide you in how to advocate effectively. We recommend reading their recent Call to Action email (sent to GEM/CEDAR/SPA Newsletters), or reaching out to the points of contact for the Coalition, Ian Cohen (Ian.Cohen at jhuapl.edu) and Gordon Emslie (gordon.emslie at wku.edu), immediately (this week). While we do not yet know the outcome of these impacts at our funding agencies, we remain confident that the work of CEDAR and GEM is needed and appreciated. This includes providing basic research, transitioning actionable knowledge to operations, supporting and developing our existing workforce, and training the next generation to ensure continuity of scientific expertise and leadership. We encourage our communities to continue your good work and continue supporting one another. We invite you all to join us at the June 2025 joint CEDAR/GEM workshop in Des Moines Iowa, where we will present our work together, to showcase our newest and most exciting scientific discoveries.

Here?s a link to the press release about AGU joining the lawsuit: https://news.agu.org/press-release/agu-joins-suit-supporting-fired-federal-employees/ AGU is asking for your assistance to help them capture the large-scale harm due to these firings (i.e., beyond stories of individual employees or scientists), as well the societal harm from the disruption to federal grant funding. They have a survey specifically asking you to share these impacts. AGU will use this input in a variety of ways, but definitely for their input to decision makers and in their contributions to the lawsuit. You can choose to share your name or submit your contribution anonymously. AGU will provide their supporting brief to the lawsuit by next week; therefore, the sooner you provide input the better (by Monday 3/10 would be most helpful). https://forms.monday.com/forms/f553b2ba8138c257cd61e430b7aeb754?r=use1 Thanks in advance for all your input; AGU appreciates it very much. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the most evident connections is the modulation of cosmic rays by heliospheric phenomena driven by solar activity. Variations in the Sun?s magnetic field, solar wind, and transient disturbances?such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particle (SEP) events?alter the flux of cosmic rays reaching Earth. Consequently, cosmic-ray detectors serve as valuable tools for studying space weather, providing indirect yet critical insights into solar and interplanetary conditions. This is particularly relevant for assessing space weather effects on the near-Earth environment and predicting potential hazards to infrastructure and human activity. Beyond their utility as space weather proxies, cosmic rays also exert a direct, though subtler, influence on Earth?s environment. At high altitudes, cosmic rays contribute to radiation exposure, affecting airline crews, frequent fliers, and, more critically, astronauts in space. Their interactions with the atmosphere produce secondary particles that can impact biological systems and electronic instrumentation, posing challenges for high-altitude aircraft, satellites, and space missions. Furthermore, cosmic rays have been associated with various climate-related and geophysical effects. Given these multifaceted connections, this talk will present key areas of interest in cosmic-ray research, the analytical methods and techniques developed, and their contributions to a broader understanding of space weather phenomena. Integrating cosmic-ray studies with space weather research enhances the ability to monitor and predict space weather impacts, improves the understanding of cosmic ray-induced effects on Earth?s environment, and refines methodologies applied in both fields.

The COSPAR Scientific Symposium-2025 is scheduled to take place at Nicosia, Cyprus during 3-7 November 2025. We invite abstracts for the following session. ? ? SESSION C0.2: Impact assessment of extreme space weather events of 2024 on the near Earth space environment and technological systems ? DESCRIPTION: Space weather refers to a multitude of phenomena occurring at the sun, interplanetary medium, magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere over periods ranging from hours to years. These naturally occurring processes have the potential to adversely affect the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger several facets of human life. Recent extreme space weather events occurred in May and October 2024 triggered severe modifications in the geospace environment leading to G5 and G4 class geomagnetic storms respectively. The space weather event of May 2024 comprises of 11 X class flares and most powerful coronal mass ejection resulting the strongest geomagnetic storm of the past two decades. There was a remarkable impact of these two space weather events, with auroras observed worldwide extending up to low latitudes demonstrating a significant solar-terrestrial coupling. Severe disruptions were also experienced by the ground and satellite based technologies worldwide during these storms. These space weather events provide a unique opportunity to explore the complex processes in the Solar-Wind-Magnetosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere system to understand and formulate mitigation strategies to cater the needs of ever increasing technological applications. Papers are invited in this session which is focussed to discuss the impacts of the above two space weather events on the geospace environment at varied spatio temporal scales using ground and satellite based observations and model simulations including AI/ML techniques. Also, papers addressing the implications of these events on the space assets, satellite anomalies, operations and performance of ground and satellite based technologies are encouraged.? ?

Here is a direct link: https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/358533. The topic of particular interest to the Aeronomy community is: Topic 1: (AFOSR) Characterization and Modeling of the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere Background: The mesosphere and lower thermosphere, at about 50- 120 km altitude, is often called the "ignorosphere" due to being too high for investigations using balloons and too low for probing with satellites. The addition of significant and increasing quantities of human-made materials to the region, primarily via ablation of spacecraft during reentry and emissions from spacecraft fuel systems due to the increase in launches and mega-constellations to LEO, is requiring scientists to quantify how increased human activity is modifying the upper atmosphere. Reliable and accurate models of the upper atmosphere will be increasingly essential to manage potential VLEO assets, to predict or adapt to abrupt changes to atmospheric plasma concentrations and must account for these new materials present in the atmosphere. Yet, currently, no effective model of thermospheric winds exists, and the reactivity of new materials now being added in the upper atmosphere is unknown. Reactions of such metals are complicated by the multiplicity of electron spin states they possess whose effects on reactivity are not well understood or described by existing theoretical and computational chemical methods. These spin-effects can create large barriers to some metal-atom reaction pathways creating the need for experimental and theoretical studies to determine what forces control this reactivity, hence determining the dominant reservoir species and the chemical mechanisms and networks that control them. There is a gap in information about the chemical composition, size distribution, movement, and abundance of novel elements introduced to the thermosphere in this altitude range which cannot be addressed in a scalable way with existing techniques. While several methods have been developed to monitor upper atmospheric winds, temperatures, and component densities from the ground, including meteor radars, rockets, and various lidar methodologies, new remote sensing methods and tools are needed to make this probing more accessible to many US scientists, and provide the large streams of data needed for improved assimilative modeling at a larger range of altitudes. Current atmospheric models do not include the possible chemistry and radiative transfer effects of black carbon particles or introduced metals, particularly aluminum, to the mesosphere or stratosphere. Predicted impacts from the first estimates of these species to the upper atmosphere are both not well understood and expected to be large. Developing a fundamental understanding of the forces that control the sources of materials in this region, and their behavior, is essential to properly model the behavior in this region based on solid foundational information. A wide-ranging, collaborative, multidisciplinary effort is needed to expand and improve ground- or satellite-based monitoring of chemical concentrations and dynamics in the upper atmosphere, to determine relevant chemistries via laboratory studies, to incorporate such data into existing or improved atmospheric models, to use those models to better specify current and future atmospheric conditions (e.g. density, temperature, chemical composition), and to understand the impacts of those conditions on Earth systems and LEO and VLEO space resiliency. Objective: The objective of this program is to develop the fundamental and comprehensive understanding needed to accurately characterize, model, and predict the behavior of species in the upper atmosphere, particularly the impact on atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. A multidisciplinary effort is needed that includes remote sensing, atmospheric modeling, chemical kinetics, mechanisms, and dynamics, to collect and assimilate the needed understanding and data, and collaboratively develop predictive models. Research Concentration Areas: Suggested research areas include but are not limited to 1) Development of novel tools and methods that would enable accessible and scalable ground-based sensing methods for accurately determining the concentrations of major and less prominent gas-phase species and particulates at different altitudes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. 2) Understanding the rates and mechanisms of reactions of species (of natural and human-made origin) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere that affect the dynamics, lifetimes, and radiative transfer properties. 3) Development of robust and predictive models of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere that incorporates new knowledge of chemical speciation in the atmosphere and describes the behavior, dynamics, and interaction with materials that might affect space enterprise resiliency. Anticipated Resources: It is anticipated that awards under this topic will be no more than an average of $1.5M per year for 5 years, supporting no more than 8 funded faculty researchers. Exceptions warranted by specific proposal approaches should be discussed with the topic chief during the white paper phase of the solicitation.

The Fram2 astronauts are in a scientific collaboration called the SolarMaX project with The University Centre in Svalbard and the ARCTICS ISSI group. The goal of the SolarMaX project is to create an open-source database of aurora photographs for researchers over a 3-5 day orbit window. This collection will include videos captured from Fram2, as well as those taken from the ground by anyone on Earth who can observe the aurora and measurements from scientific instruments. During the mission, scientists and citizen scientists will monitor conditions for certain types of what we call ?weird aurora?. The astronauts will then be alerted if any types are spotted along their orbit path, so they can be ready. Photos should be submitted to the Skywarden database for researchers to use and a selection of people who do this will win prizes that have been to space. If you have instruments that could be useful for the mission, then turn them into high-resolution mode and let us know! If you can spread the word about the mission in your network then that is also great - anyone can take part using a camera or smartphone in any area with the opportunity for aurora!

This has the potential of predicting Kp several days in advance from first principles detailed by (Newell, P.T., Sotirelis, T., Meng, C.I., and Rich, F.J., 2007, ?A nearly universal solar wind-magnetosphere coupling function inferred from 10 magnetospheric state variables?, J. Geophys. Res., 112, A01206, doi: 10.1029/2006JA012015). I attach a copy of my poster presentation at the recent NOAA SWW meeting. The analysis has a history of giving accurate predictions of GSM Bz up to 5 days ahead of time in an earlier article published in 2019 in Space Weather (Jackson, B.V., Yu, H.S., Hick, P.P., Buffington, A., Tokumaru, M., Fujiki, K., Kim, J., and Yun, J., 2019, ?A daily determination of Bz using the Russell-McPherron effect to Forecast geomagnetic activity?, Space Weather, 17, 639-652, doi: 10.1029/2018SW002098). Other than that, if you want to know about weird aurora our group has long been interested in the not so very weird high aurora observed by the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (Mizuno, D.R., Buffington, A., Cooke, M.P., Eyles, C.J., Hick, P.P., Holladay, P.E., Jackson, B.V., Johnston, J.C., Kuchar, T.A., Mozer, J.B., Price, S.D., Radick, R.R., Simnett, G.M., Sinclair, D., Tappin, S.J., Webb, D.F.: 2005, Very high altitude aurora observations with the Solar Mass Ejection Imager. J. Geophys. Res. 110, A07230). An attempt was made to view this from a balloon instrument at a time in 2022 when no aurora was observed (See a 2025 article in Solar Physics I also attach). This did not work, but we were afraid it might and hinder, as it will the NASA SMEX PUNCH instruments just launched to LEO on March 10, even when there is no geomagnetic storm present. The PUNCH first good white light observations of the heliosphere through whatever aurora is present are not supposed occur until June of this year, unfortunately.

The Fram2 astronauts are in a scientific collaboration called the SolarMaX project with The University Centre in Svalbard and the ARCTICS ISSI group. The goal of the SolarMaX project is to create an open-source database of aurora photographs for researchers over a 3-5 day orbit window. This collection will include videos captured from Fram2, as well as those taken from the ground by anyone on Earth who can observe the aurora and measurements from scientific instruments. During the mission, scientists and citizen scientists will monitor conditions for certain types of what we call ?weird aurora?. The astronauts will then be alerted if any types are spotted along their orbit path, so they can be ready. Photos should be submitted to the Skywarden database for researchers to use and a selection of people who do this will win prizes that have been to space. If you have instruments that could be useful for the mission, then turn them into high-resolution mode and let us know! If you can spread the word about the mission in your network then that is also great - anyone can take part using a camera or smartphone in any area with the opportunity for aurora!

The International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA) is held once in every three to four years. Researchers from the fields of atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere science come together in ISEA to share new results, discuss the current state-of-the-art, and identify promising topics for future research. ISEA-17 consists of five scientific sessions and a discussion session on Space Traffic and Sustainability at low altitudes (VLEO). The ISEA-17 website is available at *https://www.iap-kborn.de/isea17* and the *call for abstracts* is open and lasts until *July 31, 2025* including travel support applications and until *August 15, 2025* for regular abstract submissions. We encourage you to submit your abstract(s) to ISEA-17 and look forward to meet and see you at ISEA-17!
