<p class="MsoNormal">**** Incoherent Scatter Radar World Days 2021****<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to solicit proposals for Incoherent Scatter Radar world day operations for 2021<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Submission Deadline: Friday 31 July 2020<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is an opportunity to direct the global network of radars towards a single scientific objective for time scales of a few days.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guidelines for applying for a World Day are attached as is a template for the application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously an in-person meeting was not feasible this year. Consequently the process for selecting World Days will be slightly different this year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All proposals will be circulated to radar operators and an on-line discussion (including all proposers) will be held after the submission deadline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are working on the assumption that operations next year will be relatively normal. This is, of course, highly subject to change and we will adapt as circumstances dictate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have benefitted from World Day operations in the past we would be very pleased to hear from you with details. It is good to assess how effective these experiments are, and useful for the radar operators when reporting to their funding
bodies. <o:p></o:p></p>
