Convenor: Donald Farley

Summary: We will begin with SHORT (1 or 2 viewgraphs, 10 minutes or less) presentations from each of the five facilities (Jicamarca, Arecibo, Millstone Hill, Sondrestrom, and EISCAT). These should mainly describe new developments and capabilities. These will be followed by short presentations (from anyone) that discuss scientific programs using the facilities. The emphasis will be on programs that make use of the clustering of instruments at any one observatory and (especially) those that use coordinated measurements from several UAFs ("chain" experiments). Some of these programs (e.g., storms) have workshops of their own, of course. If time permits, a short summary (or advertisement, depending on which workshop comes first) could also be presented in the UAF workshop. The workshop length will be only 2 hours, so all presentations must be short. The goal of this workshop, in contrast to that of many of the other CEDAR workshops, is to give the community an overall idea of what is going on (especially new things) at the UAFs, rather than an in-depth study of any particular science.
The tentative agenda is as follows:
Observatory Updates/Highlights/New Developments (~10 min each)
1. EISCAT - Tony van Eyken
2. Sondrestrom - Jeff Thayer
3. Millstone Hill - John Foster
4. Kharkov & Irkutsk - Phil Erickson
5. Arecibo - Craig Tepley
6. Jicamarca - Ron Woodman
Short Contributions (~10 min or less)
1. Dave Hysell - First use of alternating codes at Jicamarca
2. Phil Erickson - POLITE comparisons (preview)
3. Wes Swartz - Electron collision corrections for Jicamarca data
4. Rick Doe - Auroral energetics as viewed by multiple colocated
instruments at Sondrestrom
Involvement of the UAFs with TIMED
Introduction by Jeff Thayer followed by 20-30 min of general
discussion
