Description
The present solar cycle minimum is the lowest it has been since the beginning of the space age. This workshop will emphasize new observations and modeling related to solar min. conditions at low latitudes. In particular, the both Jicamarca and the Communication/Navigation Forecasting System satellite data are showing remarkable results. For example, the protonospheric transition height is very low, topside temperatures are low except at sunrise, the quiet-time electric field often presents extreme variability associated with lower atmospheric forcing, plasma irregularities are mostly present after midnight, and the neutral density during the June Solstice is also very low. Low-latitude observations and model results related to solar minimum conditions will be presented and discussed during the workshop.

This is where the final summary workshop report will be.
