1. ESF Network SPECIAL
*********************************************************
From:

The first ESF Workshop on Space Weather and the Earth's
Weather: Electrodynamic and charged particle effects on the
stratosphere and troposphere took place 2-4 December 99, at
the European Science Foundation in Strasbourg.
It was attended by 26 scientists from 13 different countries.
The aim of this workshop was to review the various
components of the Space Weather and Earth's Weather
systems and how they are coupled with each other. From
ground measurements of atmospheric electric fields, ELF and
VLF waves, to the influence of cosmic rays on the Earth's
cloud cover and possible influences of the solar wind on the
global electric circuit, a wide range of multidisciplinary
issues have been covered and reviewed at this meeting.
General information about on the new ESF Network can be
obtained on the WEB at:
