====================================================================== 1. ESA to start Space Weather Programme study ********************************************************* From: E. Daly E-mail: eamonn@wm.estec.esa.nl At the meeting of ESA's Industrial Policy Committee 19-20 January, a proposal prepared by ESA's Space Environments and Effects Analysis Section (TOS-EMA) for investigation of an ESA Space Weather Programme was approved (as part of the Agency's General Studies Programme). This will be followed shortly by an Invitation to Tender to ESA member states. The issue of the ITT will be notified on SWEN. *********************************************************2. URSI/COSPAR International Reference Ionosphere Workshop ********************************************************* Forwarded by E. Daly E-mail: eamonn@wm.estec.esa.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------*** ****** *** INTERNATIONAL *** ****** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** REFERENCE *** *** *** *** *** ***** *** *** ***** *** *** *** *** *** IONOSPHERE *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** -------------------------------------------------------------------- URSI/COSPAR INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE IONOSPHERE WORKSHOP University of Massachusetts Lowell August 9-12, 1999 The URSI/COSPAR Working Group on the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) will hold its next annual meeting at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA, from August 9 to 12, 1999, i.e. in the week preceding the URSI General Assembly in Toronto, Canada. These annual meetings are the primary venue for improvements and refinements of the IRI representation of ionospheric electron density, electron temperature, ion composition and ion temperatures. The specail emphsis of the 1999 Workshop will be on (1) specification of the variability of ionospheric characteristics, and (2) the use of IRI for ray tracing studies and applications. Other topics of interest for the workshop include comparisons of IRI with measurements and with other models, suggested improvements and additions for IRI, and applications of the IRI model. Papers on new additions to IRI are especially welcome, e.g.: strom-time model, ion drift model, spread-F model, and plasmaspheric model. It is expected that selected papers from this meeting will be published in Advances in Space Research.
Organizing Committee: Programme Committee: B. Reinisch, D. Bilitza, K. Oyama (ISAS, Japan), K. Rawer (Germany), P. Dyson (Australia), S. Radicella (Italy/Argentina), P. Bradley (U.K.) Abstracts are due by MARCH 15, 1999. Please include title, author(s), address with Fax and e-mail and send by e-mail to Donna_Milinazzo@uml.edu. The length of the whole abstract should not be more than one page. *********************************************************3.
