<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">We would like to invite you to participate in our 2024 CEDAR Workshop session dedicated to the “Needs for ground-based instrumentation over the equatorial and low-latitude
regions”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">This session welcome talks on science needs for improved instrumentation in low and equatorial latitudes and instrumentation design.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">We solicit discussions on the following related areas:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">(1) Can we resolve plasma irregularities and long-term variability over equatorial and low latitudes, particularly at the African sector?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">(2) Modeling and data integration studies to figure out the knowledge gaps resulting from insufficient ground-based instrument in the region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">(3) What efforts are currently underway to enhance existing instrumentation and deploy new systems?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">The session welcomes observational, modeling discussions/presentations that explore the current state of instrumentation and the need for more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
