1. Website for ISO TC20/SC14/WG4 on Space Environment - Natural and
Artificial
*****************************************************************
From: D.Heynderickx
The International Standardization Organization (ISO) Technical
Committee 20, Subcommittee 14, Working Group 4 (Space Environment -
Natural and Artificial) is in the process of establishing ISO standard
models for the space environment. There are eight active draft standard
proposals for Galactic cosmic rays (CD 15390), Solar particle fluences/
peak fluxes (WD 15391), Earth atmosphere density (WD 15392), Ionizing
radiation tests of materials (CD 15856), Solar/geomagnetic activity
estimate (WD 15857), Earth's ionosphere/plasmasphere (WD 16457),
Determining solar irradiances (WD 21348), and Earth's magnetosphere
(WD 22009).
A web site for WG4 has been set up at:
http://www.magnet.oma.be/iso/
Descriptions of the draft standards, meeting minutes and resolutions
can
be consulted on the site.
For more information and for joining the WG4 effort, please contact
the
convenor, Prof. M.I. Panasyuk

2. Announcement for Three Workshops Hosted by the NOAA Space Environment
Center on Requirements for Future Measurements of the
Space Environment
*****************************************************************
From: Terry Onsager
The NOAA Space Environment Center will be hosting three workshops to
investigate the requirements for future measurements of the space
environment. Two of the workshops will apply to the next generation
of
GOES Spacecraft (GOES R+) to be launched sometime after 2010. These
workshops will focus on the solar EUV and energetic particle flux
measurements. The third workshop will examine the requirements for
solar
wind measurements. This new proposed satellite program is called
Geostorms and will be a follow on to the NOAA Real-time Solar Wind
system on NASA's ACE program.
These workshops will be held in Boulder, Colorado on the following dates:
GOES R+ Solar EUV: October 28-29, 2002
GOES R+ Energetic Particles: October 28-29, 2002
Geostorms Real-time Solar Wind: October 30-31, 2002
Additional workshop information is available at
www.sec.noaa.gov/Workshops.
Note: The Web site for the Energetic Particles workshop includes a
questionnaire that we encourage all those who are interested to submit,
including those who can and those who cannot attend the workshop.

3. Post-doctoral Research Position at Swedish Institute of Space Physics,
Kiruna, Sweden
*******************************************************************
From: Eivor Jonsson
Swedish Institute of Space Physics invites applications for
Post-doctoral research position in Terrestrial magnetospheric physics
- Cluster data analysis (2-year position).
The successful applicant will be working in the Kiruna group of the
Sun-Earth Interaction research program. The group is experimentally
oriented and is focussed on understanding space physics phenomena
both on the basis of in-situ measurements, especially of charged and
neutral particles, and on ground-based instruments. Present research
interests are:
Solar terrestrial coupling
* Transfer of energy, mass, and momentum through the dayside
magnetopause and in the polar cusp and cleft.
* Investigations of the coupling between magnetospheric dynamo
processes and ionospheric plasmas
* The ground state of the magnetosphere and transient phenomena
Plasma acceleration
* Plasma outflow from the Earth's upper atmosphere
* Plasma acceleration and heating in the auroral acceleration region
and outer magnetosphere
The successful applicant is expected to put the main emphasis on data
from Cluster, data that offer a more detailed view on many physical
processes than have been possible with earlier missions. We are co-Is
of Cluster/CIS and Cluster/RAPID. It will also be possible to utilize
data from earlier instruments such as Interball, Munin and Astrid-2
where we are PIs.
The position is financed by the Swedish National Space Board.
IRF is an equal opportunity employer.
Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a Ph. D. in space
physics or a closely related subject such as plasma physics.
Applications including curriculum vitae, list of publications and a
description of the research that the applicant wishes to pursue
should be sent to the Swedish Institute of Space Physics,
Registrator, Dnr 31-215/02, P.O. Box 812, SE-981 28 Kiruna, Sweden
no
later than September 30, 2002. Applications referred to Dnr 31-215/02
may also be sent by E-mail to eivor.jonsson@irf.se. The position
will remain open until a suitable candidate has been found.
Further information can be obtained from Associate
professor Lars
Eliasson, +46 980 79087,
