Notification of session J10 (Energetic particle precipitation into the
atmosphere: sources and consequences) which is part of the upcoming IAGA
scientific assembly to be held in Merida, on the Yucatan peninsula of
Mexico. Please consider presenting work at our session.
The J10 session has been scheduled to run on the afternoon of Friday 30
August and all-day Saturday 31 August 2013. The session description is:
Particle precipitation into the atmosphere is one of the mechanisms for
energetic electron loss from the Van Allen radiation belts. This is
particularly significant during and after geomagnetic storms, when the
loss rate, and the source population, can both increase. This session is
targeted at both ground-based and satellite experimental observations, as
well as theoretical investigations, into the precipitation of energetic
electrons (>20 keV) into the D-region ionosphere and below. Papers
considering the precipitation drivers, the nature of the particle fluxes,
or the impact of the precipitation on the ionosphere or atmosphere are
welcome. We particularly welcome early results from RBSP, showing
energetic electron loss examples and processes and how it can be applied
by the atmospheric community.
The important conference deadlines are:
* March 31, 2013. Grant application deadline --> abstract submission required!!!
* April 13, 2013. Abstract submission deadline.
* April 30, 2013. Decision about grants.
* May 31, 2013. Reduced rate registration.
There is also a another radiation belt session earlier in the IAGA
assembly (Wave and particle dynamics in the radiation belts and ring
current) which is clearly very relevant to our joint-science area.
We believe that the IAGA meeting in Mexico has a strong range of relevant
sessions and should be an excellent meeting. For further information on
this meeting, please look at the website: http://www.iaga2013.org.mx/
We hope you can join us and present your work at our session!
