Joint CEDAR-TIMED Storm Studies

Tuesday 18 June 2002
Front Range Theatre
03:30-05:30 pm

Convenor: Joe Salah, MIT Janet Kozyra, U. Michigan

During a moderate geomagnetic storm that occurred on 17-18 April 2002 (Kp~6-7), coordinated observations were made jointly by the TIMED satellite and a globally-distributed set of ground based instruments, including Incoherent Scatter radars, SuperDarn HF radars, Medium Frequency and Meteor Wind radars, lidars, Fabry-Perot Interferometers, and optical imagers. Other satellites also made supporting observations. The measurements were coordinated by the CEDAR-TIMED storm project.

The goals of the first part of the workshop are

  1. to make a first assessment of the data collected by the various ground and space instruments, and

  2. to develop the plans for the joint analysis of the data by the community and for the study of this event through global models.
Interested participants should bring their data and their ideas for analyzing or modeling the event to the workshop, and should contact both convenors prior to the meeting for allocation of time on the agenda.
