SECOND AND FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF COSPAR SYMPOSIUM D0.5 SPACE WEATHER: PHYSICS AND APPLICATIONS ********************************************************* From: Gordon Rostoker E-mail: rostoker@space.ualberta.ca SECOND AND FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF COSPAR SYMPOSIUM D0.5 SPACE WEATHER: PHYSICS AND APPLICATIONS The 32nd COSPAR Scientific Assembly will be held in Nagoya, Japan over the period July 12-19, 1998. Within this Assembly are a number of Symposia. This is the first announcement for Symposium D0.5 on the topic of "Space Weather: Physics and Applications" which is scheduled to occupy four half days on July 17 and 18 during the meeting. This Symposium is co-sponsored by IAGA and SCOSTEP. The description of the Symposium and the names and contact information regarding the Program Committee are as follows: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DESCRIPTION OF SYMPOSIUM D0.5 It has become increasingly apparent that some technological systems, in space or on the ground, are susceptible to the consequences of the interaction of the solar wind with the earth's magnetosphere. For that reason, the need to be able to predict large "events" such as magnetic storms has excited the interest of the scientists around the world. To predict such events demands an understanding of their source involving processes on the Sun, in the heliosphere, and in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. This Symposium lasts four 4 half days. It will consist of both invited and contributed papers on the physics and phenomenology of the disturbances which can disrupt technological systems, and on techniques developed to predict those disturbances, as well as descriptions of technological systems that are vulnerable to "space weather" disturbances. Papers involving data analysis, computer modeling, theory, or any combination of these are appropriate for this Symposium.

A poster session will contain those papers which are not delivered orally and all efforts will be made to give the poster papers excellent visibility. Confirmed invited speakers are: D. Hardy/G. Ginet (U.S.A.), T. Gombosi (U.S.A.), Y. Kamide (Japan), A. Klimas (U.S.A.), M. Lester (United Kingdom), K. Marubashi (Japan), R. Pirjola (Finland), G. Reeves (U.S.A.), R. Schwenn (Germany), THE ABSTRACT DEADLINE IS January 9, 1998. Abstracts may be submitted electronically or in typed form. Information about submission of abstracts can be obtained from the World Wide Web at http://www.copernicus.org/COSPAR/COSPAR.html Instructions for submission of abstracts are as follows: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING ABSTRACTS Abstracts should be in English and prepared as indicated below Typed abstracts should be in camera-ready form. If they are not prepared according to the instructions or if they fail to meet the publishing standards, they will not be included in the Book of Abstracts. A copy of each abstract should be sent directly to the Main Scientific Organizer of the appropriate session, while the original should be sent to: Copernicus Gesellschaft 32nd COSPAR Scientific Assembly Max-Planck-Str. 13 D-37191 Katlenburg-Lindau Germany Tel: (49)-5556-91376 Fax: (49)-5556-4709 Internet: COSPAR@COPERNICUS.ORG Those authors who have provided their full contact address on their abstracts will receive a letter informing them whether their papers have been accepted. If the answer is affirmative, they will also receive the date and time of their contribution and will be asked to inform their co-authors accordingly. This information will be circulated in May 1998. Letters of solicitation for solicited/ contributed papers may be obtained from the appropriate Main Scientific Organizer. ABSTRACT FORMAT FOR TYPED ABSTRACTS SUBMITTED BY MAIL 12.0 cm (width) x 10.5 cm (height) TECHNIQUES FOR THE PREPARATION OF ABSTRACTS A. Aman (1), B. Bman (1, 2) and C. Cman (2) (1) Institute for Optics, University Katlenburg, (2) LASER Ltd., Northeim. bman@katlenburg.edu /Fax: +49-5556-4709 Follow these instructions in preparing your abstract in hard-copy, camera-ready format. Abstracts that do not meet this format or that are without submittal information will not be processed! Use a laser printer or a good typewriter with a plastic carbon ribbon. Since there will be a 69% size reduction, do not use a type size smaller than 10 pica points. Type all lines flush left! (1) Type title of contribution in capital letters and in bold (optional). (2) Leave one blank line after the title block. (3) Type author(s) followed directly by abbreviation (number/symbol) of corresponding affiliation. Underline the name of the author who will present the paper; this need not be the first author. (4) Type corresponding affiliations in next line. (5) Add e-mail or fax for correspondence. (6) Leave one blank line after the author-and-affiliation block. (7) Type text of abstract flush left. Mathematical symbols should be typed in or drawn neatly in dark ink. Metric (SI) symbols should be used. Abstract size block should be drawn only on typing backup sheet. (8) Be sure to complete all submittal information. (9) Contact WWW or Copernicus for the abstract LaTeX macro package. (10) Mail the original to Copernicus and a copy to the appropriate MSO. Alternatively, use e-mail and send the original plus your submittal information as an ASCII, PS or LaTeX file directly to Copernicus. (11) Prepare your slides with your name, a sequence number and a thumb mark, and hand them to the projectionist before your session starts. (12) The size of the poster boards is 1.0 m (width) x 1.5 m (height). Submittal Information (Type the following information under your abstract) 1.
