<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="DE">This year the Vertical Coupling of the Atmosphere-Ionosphere System (VCAIS) meeting is combined with the ANtarctic Gravity Wave Instrument Network meeting for a one week meeting/workshop addressing
the modelling, observation, data analysis and theory related to this coupling. The objective of this meeting is to provide a venue for discussions and collaborations between scientists involved in studying this coupling and associated mechanisms. The intention
is to have contributions from recent satellite missions, whole atmosphere modelling and ground based airglow, lidar and radar. Waves of all scales, large scale flows and constituent distributions will be considered as complementary perspectives on this coupling.
Gravity wave processes in Polar Regions and phenomena related to the recent Solar eclipse are specific topics being considered for this meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="DE">The meeting will take place from June 2 to 7 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada with a student workshop taking place the afternoon of June 2. Registration costs are $250 Cdn for students and
$350 Cdn for everyone else. For further information on the meeting and registration details see the conference web site,
