Abstract submission deadline on 23 January, 2026. Session Description: Following the impact of interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) and co-rotating interaction region (CIR) at the magnetopause and dayside and nightside magnetic reconnections, the earth?s environment undergoes large temporal changes lasting several days. The changes in the geomagnetic field include geomagnetic storms/activities and substorms. Auroras become intense and extend to lower latitudes and become visible in mid and low latitudes known as low-latitude auroras. Strong high latitude electric field penetrate to the equatorial ionosphere through the ionosphere-ground wave guide as prompt penetration electric field (PPEF). Intense auroral heating expands the thermosphere causing equatorward and westward neutral winds and waves (TADs), and increase the thermospheric total mass density and decrease the atomic oxygen to molecular nitrogen (O/N2) ratio at ionospheric heights with its (small) increase at low latitudes of downwelling. The PPEF and equatorward neutral wind together cause strong F3 layer, travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), ionospheric irregularities and ionospheric storms. Positive (followed by negative) ionospheric storms occur in longitudes of daytime main phase (MP) of the geomagnetic storms. In longitudes of nighttime MP, the decrease in O/N2 ratio becomes effective and negative ionospheric storms occur. The evening nighttime spread-F, plasma bubbles and scintillations at low latitudes become intense and extend to higher latitudes. In polar ionosphere, the tongue-of-ionization and plasma patches and irregularities become strong. This session provides a platform to present and discuss all these and other related aspects studied using ground- and space-based observations, theory and modelling.? Conveners: V. Manu, Y.

This session aims to bring together researchers to share recent advances in the understanding of equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) dynamics, their driving mechanisms, and their impacts on the ionosphere. Contributions addressing observations, modeling, and forecasting of EPBs are welcome, and this session aims to promote active discussion among researchers. Session Description: Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are the most occurring space weather phenomena in the low-latitude ionosphere. The plasma density irregularities associated with EPBs cause severe fluctuations in signal amplitude and phase, resulting in signal fading. Consequently, applications such as GNSS positioning, navigation, satellite communication, and radio occultation measurements are significantly impacted. A variety of observational techniques have been developed to monitor EPBs. The range and frequency spread displayed on radar diagrams indicate the occurrence of EPBs. Ground-based and satellite-borne optical instruments enable the detection of plasma depletions/dark stripes in airglow. Networks of ground-based GNSS receivers can capture amplitude and phase fluctuations caused by EPBs, while radio occultation techniques provide complementary space-based perspectives. In-situ plasma measurements offer the highest spatial resolution, though they remain limited to satellite orbital altitudes. Extensive climatological analyses have revealed that EPB seeding exhibits complexities, including waves, vertical convection, pre-reversal enhancements (PREs), and geomagnetic activities. These complexities pose significant challenges for EPB prediction. Physical models are crucial for understanding the growth and evolution of EPB structures and their interactions with background neutral winds and electrodynamics. Meanwhile, data-driven and machine-learning approaches have recently emerged as powerful tools for forecasting the occurrence of regional scintillation.This session welcomes contributions covering all aspects of EPB research, including observations (e.g., optical, GNSS, radio occultation, and in-situ probes, etc.), physical modeling, and data-driven forecasting techniques. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary studies and the use of novel or repurposed instruments for EPB observations. We sincerely look forward to your participation in this AOGS session.

The abstract submission deadline is Thursday, 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET. https://www.egu26.eu/session/57136 Session Abstract The solar wind drives multiscale, cross-region, and cross-energy interactions within Earth?s magnetosphere?ionosphere system, shaping the dynamics of geospace. This session focuses on understanding these interactions through observations and modeling approaches. At the global scale, we aim to explore how geomagnetic storms and substorms respond to solar wind drivers. At regional and mesoscale levels, we welcome studies on plasma convection, magnetosphere?ionosphere current systems, magnetic reconnection, boundary layer instabilities (e.g., Kelvin?Helmholtz), flux transfer events, ULF waves, ionospheric convection, auroral arcs, and related phenomena. Emphasis is placed on linking these processes to specific solar wind conditions and elucidating their roles in system-level responses. We invite contributions that integrate data from space missions (e.g., THEMIS, Cluster, MMS, RBSP), ground-based observatories (e.g., SuperDARN, magnetometers, optical networks), and numerical or machine learning models. This session supports the upcoming SMILE mission by promoting studies aligned with its science goals on solar wind?magnetosphere?ionosphere coupling.

Together with session AS19, this session is part of two joint sessions for "Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere". AOGS2026 session AS25: Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere: Remote and In-situ Sensing and Modelling of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere Session Description: The Earth's middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere maintain a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple together and structure the atmosphere and ionosphere. As a result, remote sensing and in-situ investigations, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from those ground-based, in-situ and satellite-borne observations, modelling studies and relevant laboratory research. It will bring together studies of new sensing techniques and sensors, models and mission concepts, currently being planned or under development, to foster new collaborations, furthering the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. We look forward to your participation in this AOGS session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Friday, 23 January 2026, at 23:55 (GMT+8, Singapore Standard Time).

Message from the Guest Editors: Ionospheric scintillation represents a major challenge for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) across all latitudes. Ionospheric scintillation directly impacts high-precision navigation users, demanding robust risk mitigation strategies. The growing demand for robust GNSS services in navigation, communication, and monitoring further underscores the urgent need for real time detection. Traditionally, specialized receivers measure signal fluctuations and compute scintillation indexes, but their limited coverage restricts global monitoring. Recent advances demonstrate that networks of geodetic GNSS receivers, combined with robust detrending techniques and real-time correction products, can provide reliable global monitoring. These developments are crucial for practical applications, offering operational support to industry and enhancing the safety of critical systems. This Special Issue invites contributions on innovative methods, datasets, and applications for real-time monitoring, including GNSS based techniques, modeling, and forecasting, with the aim of advancing both the understanding and mitigation of scintillation impacts worldwide. Submission Deadline: 15 April 2026 Submit Online: http://mdpi.com/si/255980 We look forward to receiving your contributions.

We invite you to submit abstracts to the AS-19 session. The submission deadline is Jan 23, 2026. Below, please find the session description. We look forward to seeing you in Fukuoka. AS19- Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere: Remote Sensing Applications for Atmospheric Processes from Lower/Middle Atmosphere to Ionospheric Dynamics Section(s) AS - Atmospheric Sciences (Primary) ST - Solar and Terrestrial Sciences Session Description Recent advances in atmospheric remote sensing?utilizing cutting-edge satellite, airborne, and ground-based instrumentation?have revolutionized our ability to observe the Earth's atmosphere. This session focuses on how these sophisticated techniques are enhancing our understanding of the complex, coupled physical processes spanning the lower atmosphere all the way to the ionosphere. We invite presentations that use remote sensing data to investigate the drivers and effects of vertical atmospheric coupling. Of particular interest are studies focusing on the transport of energy, momentum, and electricity from the troposphere and stratosphere upwards. Topics may include, but are not limited to: (i) Drivers of Coupling: Studies on large-scale hydrodynamic and electromagnetic phenomena, such as thunderstorms, lightning, gravity waves, airglow, and extreme weather events, and their propagation into the middle and upper atmosphere; (ii) Ionospheric Effects: The remote sensing observation and modeling of resulting upper atmosphere and ionospheric features, including atmospheric tides, plasma bubbles, and ionospheric irregularities; (iii) Data Fusion: While the proliferation of satellite sensors provides rich, multi-sensor Earth observations, individual instrument limitations persist. Data fusion leveraging deep learning models offers a vital path toward a comprehensive solution, such as enhancing both the spatial and temporal resolution of observations. This session seeks to bridge the gap between atmospheric and space physics, highlighting the critical role of advanced remote sensing in addressing open questions related to Extreme Weather/Space Weather originating from below.

We would like to bring your attention to session ST11: Upper Atmosphere Variations Caused by Natural Events in the Solar-Terrestrial Environment, which will emphasize all aspects of upper atmosphere disturbances caused by natural events, including seismic activity, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, solar eclipses, and geomagnetic storms in the solar-terrestrial environment. Session Scope Earth?s upper atmosphere, including the ionized component, the ionosphere, is sensitive to upward-propagated disturbances from the lower altitudes. These disturbances can be in the form of atmospheric acoustic and gravity waves (AGWs), large-scale planetary waves, or tides. Lithospheric activities and lower atmospheric disturbances, such as seismic activity, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and meteorological disturbances, can generate them. Another source of the disturbances comes from solar-terrestrial events, such as magnetic storms. Magnetic storms could also drive global atmospheric and thermospheric disturbances through the input of energy from electromagnetic and energetic precipitations. These disturbances interact with the upper atmosphere through various complex processes, thereby providing opportunities for a better understanding of vertical coupling and teleconnection throughout the entire atmosphere. The objective of this session is to stimulate discussions on upper atmospheric disturbances in both neutral and ionized components resulting from disturbances caused by these natural events in the solar-terrestrial environment. The new observation techniques, as well as the space weather forecasting/nowcasting of the data assimilation models, have also been solicited. You can find more information, as well as the abstract submission at: https://www.asiaoceania.org/AOGS2026/Home Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is 23 January 2026.

The session targets improving ionospheric indices and scales to support communication and navigation users impacted by ionospheric irregularities and structure. The conference will take place in Florence, Italy, from 1?9 August 2026. Abstract submission deadline is 13 February 2026 (https://www.cospar -assembly.org/assembly.php). *PSW.3 description* *Forecasting ionospheric perturbations described by indices at low, mid, and high latitudes* Ionospheric perturbations and irregularities covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales play an important role in the operation of space-based radio systems such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or remote sensing radars. Customers of these systems are interested and dependent on the accuracy of forecasts of the occurrence of ionospheric perturbations. In particular, they require estimation of the type (temporal, spatial scale), the strength and temporal development of the perturbation. These perturbations and irregularities can arise from forcing from the low atmosphere or from the influence of solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field interaction with the plasma environment of the earth. Coordinated studies as already initiated by the ISWAT G2B-04 group, are providing new insights in the generation and propagation of ionospheric perturbations impacting these trans-ionospheric radio wave customers. Of particular interest and focus for the session is to explore our capability to forecast ionospheric indices, the design of a new trans-ionospheric radio wave scale that has been broadly discussed in former PSW.3 sessions, and eventually to forecast the magnitude of a new space weather scale. The session will also take advantage of recent achievements of other ISWAT ionospheric teams. Please, feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues who may also be interested. Looking forward to your contributions and to meet you in Firenze.

URSI GASS will take place August 15-22, 2026, in Krak?w, Poland as an in-person conference only. Krak?w is a leading tourist destination, with charming historic sites and modern districts, and is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Abstract submissions are now open, and the submission deadline is January 25, 2026. Details on the conference can be found at https://www.ursi-gass2026.pl/. H03 session summary: Particle precipitation into the atmosphere is believed to be one of the dominant mechanisms for the loss of energetic electron loss from the Van Allen radiation belts, as well as losses of ring current ions. Wave-particle interactions with ULF through to VLF waves are thought to be important drivers of these loss-events. This session is targeted at both ground-based, balloon, and satellite experimental observations, as well as theoretical investigations, into the precipitation of energetic (>10 keV) to relativistic energy electrons or precipitation of ring current ions. Papers considering wave-particle interactions driving losses, measurement of loss fluxes, or the effects of this precipitation on the ionosphere are welcome. Note that studies directed towards radiation belt electron acceleration, transport, or dynamics are likely better suited to the complementary session H02 or H04.

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to session AS25 at AOGS 2026, which takes place in Fukuoka, Japan, from 2--7 August 2026. Together with session AS19, this session is part of two joint sessions for "Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere". AOGS2026 session AS25: Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere: Remote and In-situ Sensing and Modelling of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere Session Description: The Earth's middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere maintain a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple together and structure the atmosphere and ionosphere. As a result, remote sensing and in-situ investigations, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from those ground-based, in-situ and satellite-borne observations, modelling studies and relevant laboratory research. It will bring together studies of new sensing techniques and sensors, models and mission concepts, currently being planned or under development, to foster new collaborations, furthering the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. We look forward to your participation in this AOGS session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Friday, 23 January 2026, at 23:55 (GMT+8, Singapore Standard Time).

Depending on their specific energy, these particles can penetrate into the mesosphere or even the stratosphere, therein triggering significant disturbance and causing ozone depletion. The fundamental mechanisms behind particle precipitation have been long known, but accurate modeling and quantification of these processes still remain incomplete. In the past decade, enormous amount of observational data have been collected in order to resolve this problem, including optical measurements of aurora emissions, ionospheric density measured by incoherent scatter radar, and precipitation fluxes measured by Small-Sats and CubeSats. These data have thus greatly improved models of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling via energetic particle precipitation, which in turn further our understanding of their mechanism and influence on the atmosphere. This session aims to cultivate a platform for discussing magnetospheric drivers of energetic particle precipitation, new observation of precipitating fluxes, and their impact on the atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. It will promote dialogue between observations and simulations on the role of energetic particle precipitation in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling during different space weather events. For more details, please check https://www.asiaoceania.org/AOGS2026/. Feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues who may also be interested. We look forward to your participation in this AOGS meeting. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Friday, 23 January 2026, at 23:55 (GMT+8, Singapore Standard Time).

The AOGS26 meeting will take place from August 02 to 07, 2026, in Fukuoka, Japan. *****Session Details***** *Session Title*: ST28 - Dynamics and Coupling in the Ionosphere, Thermosphere, and Mesosphere Driven by Forcing from Above and Below *Section*: Solar and Terrestrial Sciences *Session Available*: https://www.asiaoceania.org/AOGS2026/Session-and-Conveners *Conveners*: Sovit Khadka, Huixin Liu, Xing Meng, and Duggirala Pallamraju *Session Description:* The ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM) region serves as a critical transition zone where the neutral atmosphere transforms into ionized plasma. This dynamic layer plays a pivotal role in Earth?s near-space environment, responding strongly to solar, space, and terrestrial events. Understanding the intricate variability, dynamics, and coupling processes within the ITM system is essential for scientific exploration, practical applications, and advancing current and future numerical modeling capabilities. This region influences radio wave propagation, satellite orbits, atmospheric drag on spacecraft, and global climate and weather patterns. Advances in our understanding of ITM dynamics enhance our ability to predict space weather threats to modern technological infrastructure, which is a critical societal need. Not only do atmospheric waves originating from the lower atmosphere impact the ITM system, but high-latitude energy inputs (such as particle precipitation and Joule heating) associated with solar and magnetospheric sources also play a profound role in the dynamics, composition, and coupling of the ITM system. By examining composition, neutral winds, pressure, temperature, electric field, and neutral/electron/ion density due to forcing from above (solar and geomagnetic activity) and below (polar vortex, tides, Kelvin waves, planetary waves, and gravity waves originating in the lower atmosphere), we gain valuable insights into the variability, dynamics, and coupling mechanism between different layers in the ITM system. This session invites contributions from the Solar-Terrestrial sciences community, highlighting recent innovations in experimental techniques, observational tools, current and future space mission plans, theoretical studies, and modeling efforts to improve/advance our fundamental understanding of ITM dynamics and vertical coupling driven by both external and internal forcing. We look forward to your contribution to our AOGS26 session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is *Friday, 23 January 2026*, at *11:55 SGT*. Thank you.

Abstract: Michael Buonsanto was an early leader in ionospheric storm studies. He possessed a remarkable talent for synthesizing scientific insights from a diverse array of measurements and instruments. His work rested on three key pillars: scientific collaboration, innovative analysis techniques, and the integration of observations with modeling and theory. He organized numerous community workshops on this topic and published a seminal paper, ?Ionospheric Storms, A Review? (Buonsanto 1999). Michael?s pioneering research was instrumental in identifying large mid-latitude electron density gradients associated with ionospheric storms?a precursor to the significant recognition of the space weather impacts associated with ionospheric storms that occurred when the FAA?s WAAS system became operational in 2003. This lecture by Anthea Coster will explore the remarkable progress made over the past 25 years in understanding ionospheric storms, driven by advances in instrumentation, measurement methodologies, and ionospheric modeling. It will highlight the growing importance of space weather research and offer a reflective overview of developments in radio remote sensing instrumentation and data analysis techniques, emphasizing the enduring influence of Michael?s contributions. Finally, the lecture will look ahead to the opportunities and challenges that await the next generation of space weather research.

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to session AS25 at AOGS 2026, which takes place in Fukuoka, Japan, from 2--7 August 2026. Together with session AS19, this session is part of two joint sessions for "Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere". AOGS2026 session AS25: Advanced Topics in the Whole Atmosphere: Remote and In-situ Sensing and Modelling of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere Session Description: The Earth's middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere maintain a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple together and structure the atmosphere and ionosphere. As a result, remote sensing and in-situ investigations, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from those ground-based, in-situ and satellite-borne observations, modelling studies and relevant laboratory research. It will bring together studies of new sensing techniques and sensors, models and mission concepts, currently being planned or under development, to foster new collaborations, furthering the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. We look forward to your participation in this AOGS session. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Friday, 23 January 2026, at 23:55 (GMT+8, Singapore Standard Time).

See https://www.nsf.gov/funding/information/dcl-nsf-intent-restructure-critical-weather-infrastructure This is a major moment for our community. The scope of this DCL directly touches areas central to CEDAR science: ? Space weather observational platforms ? Atmospheric and space weather modeling and forecasting capabilities ? Cyberinfrastructure and computing resources ? Community training in modeling and forecasting NSF is explicitly requesting transformative and creative concepts for how these capabilities should be managed, evolved, and sustained going forward. They are also seeking input on potential duplication across agencies, opportunities for modernization, and alternative operational models. Importantly, NSF has stated that the materials received will inform future actions. While NSF will not respond individually, community feedback is being taken very seriously as part of this decision process. Lack of input may be interpreted as lack of community priority or concern. Key Details Submission Deadline: March 13, 2026 Length: 2?3 pages per topic addressed Submission email: NSF_NCAR at nsf.gov You may respond with: ? Expressions of interest in managing/operating space weather or weather modeling capabilities ? Concepts of operations for observational platforms, modeling, or training ? Recommendations on performance objectives and metrics ? Perspectives on gaps, duplication, or future opportunities This DCL represents a rare opportunity for the research community to help shape the future structure of national weather and space weather infrastructure. These decisions will affect our science ecosystem for years to come. I strongly encourage individuals, groups, and institutions to review the DCL and submit input where relevant. If these facilities, models, data systems, or training activities matter to your research, workforce development, or mission planning, now is the time to speak up. Thank you for your engagement and for helping ensure the future of our community?s scientific capabilities. Sincerely, V.

We invite you to submit contributions to Session FG ? Innovations in Space Surveillance and Environmental Interaction. ================= Session Description ================= This session will explore cutting-edge developments and persistent challenges in space surveillance and tracking (SST), with a focus on both ground-based and space-borne sensor technologies. We invite contributions that address key aspects of space domain awareness, including but not limited to: ? Detection, monitoring, and cataloging of resident space objects (RSOs) ? Initial orbit determination and tracking strategies ? Characterization and analysis of fragmentation events ? Ambiguity resolution in radar and optical observations ? Advanced data processing and sensor fusion techniques ? Theoretical and computational approaches to orbital dynamics In addition, this session welcomes studies on the interactions between space debris and the ionosphere, an area of increasing importance. The ionosphere influences the orbits and lifetimes of objects in space, while plasma irregularities and ionospheric disturbances can degrade propagating radio waves, reducing the accuracy of tracking data and complicating space situational awareness. Conversely, debris re-entries introduce metal particulates and aerosols into the ionosphere. These pollutants, particularly in the middle and upper atmosphere, can persist for decades, leaving a long-term environmental legacy. Studies that address these bidirectional couplings between debris populations and ionospheric dynamics are especially encouraged. ================= URSI also offers a rich program for students and young scientists, including awards and competitions. * Student Paper Competition * Young Scientist Award Kind regards, Liliana Macotela (NORCE, Norway) Austin Egert (Orion, USA) Sari Lasanen (University of Oulu, Finland) Tom Grydeland (NORCE, Norway) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
