From Lynn.Harvey at lasp.colorado.edu Thu May 1 12:52:57 2025 From: Lynn.Harvey at lasp.colorado.edu (Lynn Harvey) Date: Thu, 1 May 2025 18:52:57 +0000 Subject: CEDAR email: Vote on Proposed Changes to the CEDAR Bylaws In-Reply-To: References: <2767A9D8-B0D2-468B-A2D2-D59B9E10F046@jhuapl.edu> <8E684458-62F9-42F0-B087-B83688845302@us.navy.mil> <2602D486-74FD-407A-B820-F61AE5930010@jhuapl.edu> <4B531522-65C1-4119-BA34-AB8E3AAB230A@us.navy.mil> Message-ID: If you haven't already done so, please cast your vote here to approve the proposed Bylaw changes (given below), or not, by Friday May 9th 2025. Thank you for participating in this process! Sincerely, V. Lynn Harvey and Mark Conde, on behalf of the CSSC ---Summary of Proposed Bylaw Changes--- 1. Remove taboo words (e.g., change DEI task force to MATRIX) to ensure continued NSF funding. 2. Add to the bylaws language that we require GCs to provide a quantitative assess community engagement output, e.g., count how many people got involved during the project. 3. Change ?CEDAR Science Thrusts? to ?CEDAR Science Plan? 4. Change the bylaws to reflect that CSSC members may not nominate other CSSC members for science highlights or Prize or Distinguished lectures. 5. Add language that ensures funding for CSSC SRs to support Student Day. ---Details of Proposed Bylaw Changes--- Items #1 and #3 are straightforward. Proposed changes in Red: * Change ?Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? to ?Merit and Training for Research, Innovation, and eXcellence? * Change DEI to MATRIX (3 instances) * In section 8.2 Demographics: ?These demographics will be used as a metric to evaluate the performance of equity measures undertaken by the CSSC and to inform the CEDAR membership, the CSSC, and relevant funding agencies regarding the composition of the CSSC CEDAR community.? * Change ?Thrusts? to ?Plan? (2 instances) For item #2, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 6.3 Grand Challenges: ?Each GC workshop will introduce the topic to the CEDAR community in the plenary session in the first year and provide updates in the 2nd and 3rd, and a summary after year 3. GCs are required to provide a quantitative assessment of community engagement each year, such as how many people joined the GC effort over the course of the project.? For item #4, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 7.1 Prize Lectures: ?The Early-Career CEDAR Prize Lecture, CEDAR Prize Lecture, and Distinguished CEDAR Prize Lecture are solicited every year before the annual CEDAR workshop. The nomination criteria for each award shall be included in the solicitation and be made available on the CEDAR webpage. CSSC members may not nominate themselves or other current CSSC members for science highlights or Prize lectures. The evaluation process is currently decided by the current Prize Lecture task force leader and voting is performed by all voting members of the CSSC.? For item #5, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 6.1 Student Support: ?Student support to attend the annual CEDAR workshop (if an in person option is available) will be extended to only students based at educational institutions within the USA (including all US states and territories). This support includes registration fees, airfare (up to a potential maximum limit that may vary by year), and housing. In exchange, students are required to present a poster and are encouraged to participate fully in other areas of the workshop. Top priority will be given to funding the two SRs before all other students, to ensure their in-person support of Student Day.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our session is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025, from 10:00 - 12:00 CDT. 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/GEM 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. Improved capabilities in forecasting these disasters can save hundreds of lives and protect billions of dollars in property from damage. Rapidly growing and practical automated processes, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), can analyze massive data sets, enabling scientists to gain new insights and optimize performance. These advancements are crucial for hazard-related preparedness and response. The workshop seeks to bring together the CEDAR and GEM 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 and artificial hazard-induced upper atmospheric dynamics, including research-based AI/ML tools that may lead to early warning systems against such disasters. Detailed information about the workshop can be found here: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2025-workshop-hazards. If you would like to contribute to our session, please let us know. Looking forward to seeing you at the Joint CEDAR/GEM Workshop!

It has been nine years since the 2016 joint CEDAR-GEM workshop that was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With the new Decadal Survey released in late 2024, there has been strong community support for once again adopting the joint format for this year's CEDAR and GEM meetings. The CEDAR and GEM steering committees have thus been working? together for more than a year to implement this, in collaboration with our sponsors at NSF, and with our conference organizers at UCAR/CPAESS and at the University of New Hampshire. As a result, we have planned a comprehensive six-day meeting that will feature: * An exciting student day on Sunday June 22 that has been jointly organized by our two student groups. * Multiple joint plenary sessions to address topics of combined interest in the areas of science, programmatics, and community care. * A number of independent CEDAR-only and GEM-only plenary sessions dedicated to? each group's specific science topics. * A wide selection of community-proposed breakout science workshops addressing timely science topics of high importance - some joint, some CEDAR-only, and some GEM-only. Outside of plenary sessions, there will generally be seven breakout workshops running in parallel. * Agency updates presented during a joint plenary session, plus agency office hours for more direct one-to-one discussions with agency leads. * CEDAR and GEM poster sessions running in parallel, with all posters on display all week. * Discussion of the new Decadal Survey during a joint plenary session on Friday. * Various extracurricular activities including a banquet, a meeting excursion, student-led community events, and breakout events led by various sub-groups for both scientific collaboration and and for socializing. * A fantastic conference center and venue in Des Moines, Iowa. Meeting attendees will register through the familiar portals run by their respective CEDAR or GEM communities. We remind everyone that the deadline for "early bird" registration on the CEDAR side is this Friday, May 7. This is also the deadline for submission of regular CEDAR poster abstracts.

The oral abstract submission deadline is Thursday, 15 May, at 2025 23:59 CEST. Past this date, all submissions will be considered for poster presentation only. Abstract submission Link: https://events.spacepole.be/event/222/. SWR2 session summary: The extreme space weather events of Solar Cycle 25 highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding solar-Earth interactions. This session aims to bring together experts from solar and heliospheric physics, as well as magnetospheric, ionospheric, and atmospheric physics to investigate the formation, propagation, and impacts of solar storms. By studying the magnetic connectivity and dynamics of the source regions leading to solar flares, and eruptions accompanied by the solar energetic particle events, we seek to understand how solar activity influences interplanetary space and interacts with the planetary environment. The propagation of coronal mass ejections and their interactions within the heliosphere are crucial for assessing the extent of space weather disturbances. The session will also address the broader space implications of these extreme events, as the impact of geomagnetically induced currents on engineering infrastructure remains an important topic for space weather mitigation strategies. We encourage you to submit abstracts on events covering all aspects of space weather, from the Sun to the Earth, and their impacts on other planetary environments. We welcome modeling and observational studies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this session aims to improve our understanding of space weather as a system-wide phenomenon and strengthen links between research communities. We look forward to your valuable contributions and appreciate your attention and interest.

Sankarasubramanian Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Abstract: The first Indian Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, Aditya-L1, was launched on 2nd September 2023. It successfully reached the intended L1 orbit on the 6th January 2024. The mission is currently in science operation phase providing unique science data. The primary science objective of the mission is to understand the solar dynamics, especially the chromospheric and coronal dynamics of the Sun and its influence at L1 which in turn provides information about the disturbances which potentially reaches Earth. To accomplish this, Aditya-L1 is configured with four remote sensing and three in-situ experiments. The remote sensing experiments include: (i) Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), (ii) Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), (iii) Solar Low-Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS), and (iv) High Energy L1 Orbiting Spectrometer (HEL1OS). Along with the remote sensing payloads, there are three in-situ experiments to measure the in-situ particles and magnetic field dynamics. The in-situ experiments are: (i) Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya-L1 (PAPA), (ii) Aditya Solarwind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX), and (iii) MAGnetometer (MAG). In this presentation, Aditya-L1's science capabilities as a stand-alone mission and also synergetic with other missions or observatories will be highlighted. A glimpse of Aditya-L1's science capabilities from the science observations so far will be presented. As an observatory for the solar and heliospheric community, potential of national and international community participation through science proposals with Aditya-L1 will be explained. In synergy with other international observatories, both ground- as well as space-experiments, Aditya-L1 would provide data which can address the solar and heliophysics observational aspects. With the Aditya-L1 science data made available to the community, we encourage all to utilize the same for the advancement of understanding the science of space weather.

Precipitation from the radiation belts into the atmosphere changes the chemical composition from the stratosphere to the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. By dissociation, dissociative ionization, and ionization of major atmospheric species, EEP changes atmospheric nitric oxides (NOx) and hydrogen oxides (HOx), which serve as a reaction catalyst for large ozone (O3) loss in the stratosphere and mesosphere. By changing the composition of the atmosphere, EEP can also indirectly affect the heating and cooling rates in the atmosphere and thus its dynamics. A comprehensive understanding of EEP characteristics and its influence on the atmosphere remains elusive because it requires a synergistic characterization of both radiation belt dynamics and atmospheric responses. In this session we will cover how EEP of radiation belt particles affects the atmospheric system, in terms of energy input, transport processes in the atmosphere, as well as the direct and indirect effects on the atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. We will encourage talks that address the inputs to the system and make progress in atmospheric modeling including the EEP effects.

Tuesday, June 24, as part of the 2025 joint CEDAR-GEM meeting in Des Moines, Iowa. The purpose of this workshop is to inform the community of impending new opportunities for sounding rocket missions, and to solicit discussion of the scientific research that these would enable. For example, the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska is partnering with Alaska Aerospace Corporation (AAC) to allow launching into latitudes both equatorward and poleward of the auroral oval. These new sites would complement the existing auroral-zone rocket launch facilities at Poker Flat Research Range. Establishing new facilities at? the Pacific Spaceport Complex Alaska (PSCA) on? Kodiak Island (57.8 degrees north latitude) would allow studies of subauroral phenomena including: Sub-Auroral Polarization Streams (SAPS); Sub-Auroral Ion Drifts (SAID); and the newly discovered Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE). Similarly,? new facilities at Oliktok Point at 70.5 degrees latitude on Alaska's north coast on the Arctic Ocean would allow studies of phenomena occurring in the polar cap, and associated with the ionospheric footprint of the northern hemisphere magnetospheric cusp. Launch corridors from both of these new sites would extend out over large areas of open ocean with no downrange hazards, allowing safe opportunities for a wide range of vehicle sizes and flight trajectories. Opportunities may exist for synchronized simultaneous launches from more than one site in Alaska. These are just two examples of possible new sounding rocket facilities and launch campaigns. We invite contributions discussing any of the potential new scientific studies or research proposals that could be enabled by forthcoming developments in sounding rocket technologies. Interested speakers are encouraged to contact the workshop convenors, as we compile the agenda for this session. - Bob McCoy, Mark Conde, Do?a Ozturk, and Bea Gallardo-Lacourt From venkateshk at prl.res.in Mon May 19 02:41:08 2025 From: venkateshk at prl.res.in (Venkatesh Kavutarapu) Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 14:11:08 +0530 Subject: CEDAR email: Special Issue on new developments in Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionspheric studies in Advances in Space Research Message-ID: <20250519141108.Horde.TFlv5d6ehITA8Mj8rVZ2Bpr@mail.prl.res.in> Dear Friends and Colleagues, Greetings!

The MIT system is highly responsive to external drivers, including variations in solar irradiance, solar wind-interplanetary coupling, as well as internal fluctuations from the lower atmosphere. Sudden Stratospheric Warmings are well-established drivers of upper atmospheric variability, but growing evidence shows that other episodic disturbances?including volcanic eruptions and tropospheric convection?can also generate large-scale effects, influencing plasma outflows, neutral-plasma interactions, and storm-time responses. More broadly, lower atmospheric variability?including tides, gravity waves, planetary waves, Kelvin waves, and other disturbances?can modulate plasma transport, ionospheric structuring, and even magnetospheric electrodynamics. Superimposed on these terrestrial-induced variations are abrupt disturbances triggered by solar flares and geomagnetic perturbations in the form of particle precipitation, plasma outflow, field-aligned currents, heat flux, etc. The CEDAR and GEM communities are uniquely positioned to collaboratively study this whole-atmosphere coupling and its impacts on the MIT system. This session welcomes observational, theoretical, and modeling studies that investigate MIT coupling across spatial and temporal scales, with emphasis on new insights from multi-instrument satellite missions (e.g., ICON, GOLD, COSMIC-2, MMS, THEMIS, Van Allen Probes), ground-based networks, and state-of-the-art models (e.g., WACCM-X, MAGE, TIEGCM, SAMI3). Contributions addressing the roles of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic activity in space weather, energy transfer mechanisms, electrodynamic feedback, and interhemispheric asymmetries are particularly encouraged. The theme of this session closely aligns with the NSF/ANSWERS solicitation to support collaborative research on space physics Session URL: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2025-workshop-new-perspectives-whole-atmosphere-coupling-and-mit-system-impacts-0 This session is scheduled from 10am?12pm, Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite your participation in the CEDAR session: How does GDC Science address the new decadal survey? 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 (1) understand how the high latitude ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) system responds to variable solar wind/magnetosphere forcing and (2)understanding how internal processes in the global ionosphere-thermosphere system redistribute mass, momentum, and energy. GDC will be the first mission to address these objective on a global scale due to its use of a constellation of spacecraft (6) that enable simultaneous multi-point observations. In this session we will have a panel discussion of relevant guiding questions, focus areas and observational needs outlined in the new Decadal Survey (https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27938/the-next-decade-of-discovery-in-solar-and-space-physics). This will be followed by short presentations describing how GDC science addresses the Decadal Survey guidelines and how progress will be made. We are interested in insights of both the Ionospheres-Thermospheres-Mesospheres panel as well as the Magnetospheres panel reports. We suggest presentations to adopt the language of the Decadal Survey for explaining their GDC relevant science. The session is scheduled from 4-6pm, Monday 23 June. If you would like to contribute a short presentation to the session, please contact Katelynn Greer at katelynn.greer at lasp.colorado.edu Thank you!

Could you post the advertisement to CEDAR email list? The script is written below. Thanks! Best regards, Sang-Yun Title: CEDAR / GEM session: Expansion of the Neutral Atmosphere and Its Impact on Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling We are soliciting presentations for our GEM-CEDAR session titled ?Expansion of the Neutral Atmosphere and Its Impact on Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling? scheduled for 4-6pm on Thursday, Jun 26, in Des Moines, Iowa. This hybrid session will focus on Earth?s exosphere?the outermost atmospheric layer above ~500km altitude? and its role in magnetosphere ? ionosphere ? thermosphere coupling. Recent studies have shown that exospheric neutrals, escaping from the heated upper atmosphere during active periods, enhance neutral-ion charge exchange in the inner magnetosphere. This process can subsequently modify ring current energy flux and auroral precipitation, suggesting that the exosphere play a significant role in the energy, momentum, and mass circulations across geospace systems. This session aims to highlight exospheric variability and its complex interactions with surrounding plasma regions, including, but not limited to, the ionosphere, plasmasphere, ring current, and magnetosheath. We welcome contributions from both modeling and observational studies that address these topics. The session will include a mix of invited and contributed presentations, followed by an open discussion to identify future directions and foster new collaborations. Researchers at all career stages are encouraged to participate.

URL: From pje at mit.edu Fri May 30 15:00:05 2025 From: pje at mit.edu (Phil Erickson) Date: Fri, 30 May 2025 17:00:05 -0400 Subject: CEDAR email: Dr. John M. Holt: Obituary and Appreciation Message-ID: To the CEDAR Community: We are sorry to report that Dr. John M. Holt, a scientist and observational pioneer in the geospace remote sensing group at MIT's Haystack Observatory, passed away on April 15, 2025. John leaves a lasting legacy within the field of remote sensing radar-based observations of Earth's ionosphere and thermosphere. His work remains highly influential for incoherent scatter radar, as the most comprehensive and incisive method for full altitude profiling of the ionosphere, along with seminal tools for archiving and retrieval of diverse ground-based upper atmosphere scientific observations spanning many decades. John earned his Bachelor's degree in physics from Harvard University in 1963, followed by both a Masters' degree (1964) and Ph.D. (1970) in physics from Yale University. After initial work as a software contractor, he transitioned to a position at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory. During this timeframe, John began his involvement with the atmospheric sciences group at MIT's Haystack Observatory in radar remote sensing efforts within a group led (and founded by) John Evans. This was later followed by a position directly at Haystack in 1980. John was a lecturer at MIT from 1983-2000 and was appointed to the Principal Research Scientist rank at MIT, equivalent to faculty tenure status, in 1991. Almost immediately on arrival at Haystack, John began to apply a sharp mathematical eye to analyzing data from the Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar, quickly collaborating with former Haystack director Joe Salah on a landmark and highly cited 1974 Radio Science paper on radar-derived neutral winds in the thermosphere. John's subsequent more than 3 decade long career as a radar technical expert and systems leader, working closely with John Foster, spanned the core era of Millstone Hill radar innovation, and helped maintain Haystack's prominence in the incoherent scatter radar world. Together with Evans, Foster, Salah, and the Haystack geospace research team, John originated many observational and scientific innovations that are prominently featured on the Haystack history wall and well represented in heavily cited literature. For example, he worked closely with the late MIchael Buonsanto on an innovative 10-position radar experiment that yielded arguably the first quantitative determination of gradient terms in the heart of ionospheric physics equations - namely the continuity equation. John also created an production level uniform-grid and model friendly Millstone Hill vertical electron density for each radar experiment, targeted at easy ingestion for theoretical and empirical studies. John's fingerprints and deep insights in geospace remote sensing by radar also led to a flexible and productive implementation of Markku Lehtinen's alternating codes as a revolution for improved ionospheric radar data. He created pioneering software radar systems, initially using RPC infrastructures in the VME-based MIDAS-1 control stack and later in completely Unix workstation based systems (MIDAS-W). These efforts were interleaved with early bistatic radar control architectures in international collaborations with the Canadian Algonquin radio telescope (MIDAS-C). During this work, John extensively collaborated with many groups across the globe, including the former Soviet Union, and created advanced EISCAT mainland radar control innovations with Tony van Eyken, then the EISCAT director. His creation of the OASIS package for full profile ionospheric radar, which uses B-splines to optimally derive the complete ionospheric altitude profile at once, was documented in a well cited paper in 1990 and is still being cited in the radar community. John was the creator of the influential Madrigal database system at Haystack beginning in 1980. Initially designed as an internal tool to store and retrieve incoherent scatter radar data for use in Haystack science studies, Madrigal has grown far beyond this original purpose over the decades. Today Madrigal is operated at Haystack by the NSF Millstone Hill Geospace Facility as the world's largest ground-based repository and permanent archive of upper atmosphere remote sensing data of all kinds, with truly international reach across all of space science. In this role, Madrigal has enabled many thousands of observational science papers in upper atmosphere studies. In ionosphere science, John's scientific output produced many unique long-term trend studies that revealed climatological variations over decades and solar cycles through use of the extensive worldwide incoherent scatter radar observational record. In the process, John was responsible for digitally assembling the entire available historical radar catalog for flexible community use - including painstaking data recreation of crucial legacy observations from radar experiments existing only as scanned printouts on microfiche! John was very active in the geospace community, including serving on the CEDAR Science Steering Committee, the EISCAT scientific advisory committee, and as a long-standing member of both the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). John also served as an energetic research mentor beginning in 1994 for dozens of undergraduate students in Haystack's NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. After retirement from MIT, John traveled extensively across the world and enjoyed playing tennis, running and spending time with his family. John is survived by his partner Barbara Lorenc, brother Dennis, daughters Amanda and Melissa and their spouses and five grandchildren. John was predeceased by his wife, Barbara Holt. His colleagues and friends at Haystack and throughout the scientific community will miss his presence deeply. -- Phil Erickson and the Geospace research group at MIT Haystack Observatory ----- Philip Erickson (he/him), Ph.D. Director MIT Haystack Observatory Westford, MA 01886 USA email: pje at mit.edu [NOTE NEW PREFERRED ADDRESS] WWW: http://www.haystack.mit.edu voice: +1 617 715 5769 fax: +1 617 715 5590 Public key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x54878872 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
