Brief Initial Description
In the first part of the worksop, we will report on the state of the instrument installations and will present early measurements of the first distributed observatory dedicated to study the low-latitude ionosphere and upper atmosphere. The LISN distributed observatory will be comprised of nearly 70 GPS receivers with the capability to measure Total Electron Content (TEC), amplitude and phase scintillation. The network will include 5 ionosondes able to measure nighttime E-region densities and 5 collocated magnetometers that will be placed along the same magnetic meridian. The LISN network is being complemented with an assimilative physics-based model that will provide a nowcast of the ionospheric electron density, conductivities, E×B plasma drifts, and neutral winds.
The second part of this workshop will focus on community comments and suggestions about campaigns to be conducted in the next few months, operational modes, Web displays, data formats, and additional instruments that may be included or may need logistical support from LISN.
