<p class="MsoNormal">**** Incoherent Scatter Radar World Days 2022****<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 2022<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Submission Deadline: Friday 9 July 2021<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">The process for selecting World-Days will follow a similar pattern to last year whereby submissions will be distributed to all ISR operators and an on-line discussion will take place. In the first instance this will be via email and will
include the proposers and interested parties (a summary of the proposals will be provided to everyone). If it is deemed needed a video conference session will be set up, but I hope that this will be unnecessary. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you wish to be included as a participant in the on-line discussion this year, then please send me an email.
<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. We are aware of issues with some of the ISR that may run into
next year and we will flag any issues that arise in good time to re-schedule or make alternate arrangements.
<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>
