CEDAR email: COSPAR Session C1.4: TIDs and AGWS

[Jeff Klenzing]

We invite the community to contribute to the "Observation and Modeling of
the Characteristics, Causes and Effects of Traveling Ionospheric
Disturbances and Thermospheric Gravity Waves" (Session C1.4) at the
upcoming COSPAR meeting in Florence, Italy 1-9 August 2026. Abstracts can
be submitted at https://www.cospar-assembly.org/user/mypapers.php through
13 February. Full session info and link is below.

*This session will focus on the identification and source differentiation
of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) and traveling atmospheric
disturbances (TADs, which are thermospheric gravity waves). TIDs are
frequently observed in the ionosphere at all latitudes and longitudes while
TAD observations are relatively scarce. TIDs/TADs can be driven by solar
and magnetospheric disturbances as well as lower atmospheric and surface
forcing, including tropospheric weather events), earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcanic eruptions, explosions, and spacecraft launches. TIDs/TADs
generated from different types of sources may exhibit similar or very
different characteristics in their spatial and temporal scales,
periodicities, propagation speeds and directions. TIDs/TADs generated from
the same type of sources may exhibit different characteristics depending on
the local conditions. It remains a challenge to distinguish different types
of sources from observed characteristics. We solicit theoretical,
observational, and modeling contributions on better understanding of the
origins, generation mechanisms, and characteristics of TIDs/TADs.*
