====================================================================== 1. Space Weather Week 1999 ********************************************************* From: B. Poppe E-mail: bpoppe@sec.noaa.gov Space Weather Week 1999 In an effort to accelerate and maximize effective transitioning of space environment research results into operations, the Space Environment Center will host a conjoined conference of users, researchers, and vendors the week of April 19, 1999. The fourth SEC User Conference will be held April 19, 20, and 21. The third annual Research-to-Operations Workshop, co-organized by Air Force Research Laboratory and NSF Division of Atmospheric Science, will be April 21, 22 and 23. The proximity of the two meetings, one emphasizing the operational concerns of users and one emphasizing research findings and new models, will allow those interested to attend both meetings if they choose. There will also be overlap time so attendees from both meetings can meet and converse informally. Additionally, there will be a space weather services vendor meeting on April 21. This meeting will allow private sector enterprises access to both researchers (who might generate new products) and users (who might purchase new products). Vendors may want to attend one or both of the meetings on either side of the vendor meeting.
Details about the conference are on Space Environment Center's Web site 2. ESA contractor report on modelling of Freja charging events ********************************************************* From: A. Hilgers E-mail: ahilgers@wm.estec.esa.nl The report with reference,
"Analysis of Freja charging events: Modelling of Freja observations by
spacecraft charging codes", by A. I. Eriksson, L. Wedin, J.-E. Wahlund
and B. Holback, ESA contract No 11974/96/NL/JG(SC), SPEE-WP120-TN,
December 1998, is now available on the www 3. Proceedings of a meeting on database and data analysis ********************************************************* From: A. Hilgers E-mail: ahilgers@estec.esa.nl
As an accompanying measure of the development of the Space Environment Database and Analysis Tools (SEDAT), an expert meeting was held at BIRA-IASB, Brussels, Belgium on 14 January to discuss a number of critical issues, in particular: data correction, data formats, inter-operability and data interchange that can determine the ultimate capabilities and range of application of SEDAT in the context of several on going space database projects in Europe. The SEDAT project is intended to develop a new approach to the engineering analysis of charged-particle environments and their effects (cf also http://www.wdc.rl.ac.uk/sedat/). Most of the material presented and elaborated at the meeting can be seen on the web. *********************************************************4. Spring 1999 AGU Special Session SM06 "Space Weather - Observations, Models, and Products (joint with SA, SH) Reminder: dead-line for abstract is 18 February 1998 ********************************************************* From: Hannu Koskinen e-mail: Hannu.Koskinen@fmi.fi Now it is time to submit your abstract to the Spring 1999 AGU Special Session SM06 "Space Weather - Observations, Models, and Products". The deadline is February 18, 1999, for submission by mail, and February 25, 1999, for electronic submission. Submission details and electronic form are available at http://www.agu.org. Note that both poster and oral presentations are planned to be published as a special issue of the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics. The following is the session description: Space weather is a rapidly evolving discipline tying the science of solar-terrestrial physics together with technological applications both in space and on ground. Future space weather activities will require continuous observations spanning from the sun to the surface of the earth and considerable progress in model development where it is not sufficient to illustrate the basic physics but also achieve high level of detail accuracy. Final products of space weather include warnings, forecasts, environmental specifications, and models for space engineering. What the future success products will finally be, is yet largely unknown, but most likely they will be highly tailored to meet the needs of specific users. We solicit papers on space weather observations, state of the art model development, and potentially useful space weather products. Conveners:
Hannu E. J. Koskinen,
