1. Announcement of extension of submission date for the Special Issue of
Advances in Space Research (ASR) Entitled "Recent Advances in Space
Weather Monitoring, Modeling and Forecasting"
**********************************************************************
From: Peggy Ann Shea and Don Smart <sssrc at msn.com>
The submission date for submittal of manuscripts to the special issue of
Advances in Space Research has been extended to 1 August 2009. This
extension is to allow participants in the Boulder, Colorado Space Weather
Workshop (28 April - 1 May) to submit appropriate papers to this issue.
This topical issue is not a conference proceedings but is open to all
scientists who may have an appropriate scientific paper related to the title
of the issue. Manuscripts on both scientific research results and
programmatic issues are appropriate for this special publication.
Papers must be submitted electronically to ees.elsevier.com/asr. To ensure
that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special
issue, authors must select "S.I.: Space Weather Advances" when they reach
the "Article Type" step in the submission process.
Submitted papers must be written in English and should include full
affiliation addresses for all authors. Only full-length papers will be
considered for publication, subject to peer review by two reviewers. There
are no page limits although the length of the paper should be appropriate
for the material being presented. Papers will be published electronically
as soon as they are accepted. Contributors to this issue(s) will have an
opportunity to purchase individual issues at 40 Euro per issue. All
articles will be typeset at no cost to the author; there is a nominal charge
for printing color figures although there is no charge for color figures on
the electronic version.
Dr. Anna Belehaki (belehaki@space.noa.gr) is the Managing Guest Editor for
this special issue. She will be assisted by Drs. Alexi Glover, Mike Hapgood
and Ronald Van der Linden. Questions can be directed to Dr. Belehaki or to
the Editor-in-Chief of ASR, Peggy Ann Shea (sssrc@msn.com).
The general format for submission of papers is on the ASR Elsevier web site;
format questions can be directed to Peggy Ann Shea.

From: Thomas Ulich <thu at sgo.fi>
The 14th International EISCAT Workshop will take place in Tromso, Norway,
between 3 and 7 August 2009.
This incoherent scatter radar workshop will cover results from areas
including the International Polar Year, the middle atmosphere, solar wind
and magnetosphere, auroral phenomena/ionosphere and thermosphere,
structure and dynamics of the polar cap and cusp, meteors, and ionospheric
heating. We also welcome abstracts on space weather (including space
debris). In addition to scientific results there will be sessions on new
radar plans and techniques (e.g. EISCAT_3D, AMISR and the new Antarctic
radar). Oral or poster contributions are welcome. The abstract deadline is
May 15, 2009.
The venue is the Rica Ishavshotel, situated on the water's edge in the
colourful seaport and university city of Tromso. More details about the
workshop can be found at the official website at:

Important dates:
Workshop: 3-7 August 2009
Abstract deadline: 15 May 2009
Registration deadline: 15 May 2009
