communication, navigation, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems at low and high latitudes are encouraged. This session's scope also includes new developments in the theory of scintillation, in statistical studies of scintillations, and multi-technique
observations of irregularities including in situ observations, relevant to the possible prediction of scintillations.</span></i></p>
