Message from the MIST mailing list.
Dear colleagues,
Please can I bring the following EGU session to your attention. It's open to papers on many aspects of ionospheric and plasmaspheric including modelling and observations (both ground- and space-based). The latter includes current work with Cluster and work looking towards SWARM.
DEADLINE is next Monday, 18th January.
Best wishes,
Mike

ST3.4 EURIPOS: Observing and modeling the Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere
Convener: Anna Belehaki
Co-Conveners: Bruno Zolesi, Michael A. Hapgood
This session is devoted to the presentation of joint research activities aimed at the
establishment of the European Research Network of Ionospheric and Plasmaspheric Observation
Systems (EURIPOS). Access to reliable standardized observational data that characterize the
Earth¡¦s ionosphere - plasmasphere system is of vital importance for theoretical and applied
geospace research, including space weather nowcasting and forecasting, and a key issue for
various operational applications relevant to satellite navigation, geomagnetic surveys, earth
observation and telecommunications. EURIPOS initiative, with the participation of 16 research
establishments all over Europe, aims to provide a wider and more efficient access to and use
of the ground and space-based ionospheric sounders and the Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS) receivers existing in different European countries and to coordinate and optimize their
operation and evolution in conjunction with all possible space missions providing data from the
near-Earth plasma regimes. This session thus also encompasses efforts aiming at the development
of a new generation of models and tools designed to improve the specification, forecasting and
prediction of the near geospace environment, ranging from the bottomside ionosphere up to the
geosynchronous orbit. Contributions focusing on ionospheric/plasmaspheric interactions,
exploiting all possible available data sets including observations from CHAMP, CLUSTER and
IMAGE space missions are encouraged in particular. The session also invites contributions
aiming at characterizing ionospheric and magnetospheric electric currents as part of the
signal detected by satellites residing in the topside ionosphere as the future ESA's Swarm
mission.
