Daytime/Twilighttime, on an average, forms the majority of the time in a 24-hour period. Many interesting atmospheric phenomena occur during this time that play an important role in the energy redistribution and dynamics of the atmospheric regions. However, daytime/twilighttime optical aeronomy has not been exploited to the fullest extent due to the obvious challenge of removing the strong solar background continuum contribution. This workshop encourages presentation of new measurement techniques, discuss results obtained from both active and passive experiments from ground and space, and plan for future coordinated observations in conjunction with radar measurements. Please send an email to D. Pallamraju if you would like to make a presentation or for information.
The topcis include measurements of daytime upper atmospheric and mesospheric emissions by instruments on board space to ground-based techniques including lidars. A brief overview on the status of dayglow models would also be discussed. This workshop is expected be very informal in nature and we encourage everyone to come and participate.
