Description

Ionosphere and Mesosphere Polar Aeronomy Campaign (IMPAC) 2009

With imminent arrival of the Advanced Modula Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR) at Resolute, polar aeronomy will enter a new era with more powerful observation capability. The Resolute AMISR will be able address many pressing issues related to the thermosphere-ionosphere interaction and ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling. Optical observations will be an important of part of future collaborative research. While ISR has more centralized operation and data processing, optical observations are more distributed and decentralized. To facilitate joint research effort, we organize this optical observation campaign to study substorm effect on the thermospheric winds in the polar cap. Through this effort we will also build an organizational infrastructure.

We have built a wiki page (http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/User:Qwu) for this collaborative research and welcome others to contribute their data and model results for joint study. During this workshop we will present and discuss optical and other observations. We also plan to provide TIEGCM model results for comparison with observations. We expect that all participants will follow rule of road of the CEDAR database, when using others data for their research.

This is where the final summary workshop report will be.
