Description
The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) team proposes to hold a workshop at CEDAR to discuss potential interactions between the GOLD team, ground based observers and theoretical modelers. GOLD will fly in a geostationary orbit on board a commercial communication satellite. It will provide disk images of O/N2 and temperature during the daytime from a nominal altitude of 160 km. At night GOLD will measure O+ densities. Additionally it will investigate O+ and N2 densities on the limb, and use occultations to study O2 profiles. These data will be also be available for ingestion by nowcast and forecast assimilation models.
The GOLD team foresees extensive possible interactions with ground-based observers both to validate the GOLD data and to improve and develop the science produced from a combination of the GOLD observations, ground-based observations and theoretical models. The aim of the GOLD workshop will be twofold. First, the GOLD team will describe the GOLD observations and provide an update of the current status of the mission. Second, the team will request input into possible ways to foster and improve GOLD science through collaborations with other members of the CEDAR community.
