Please Support a Final Extension of the Cluster Mission!

From: Andrew Fazakerley (a.fazakerley at ucl.ac.uk)

We are writing as the Cluster Principal Investigators to inform you that a positive decision by ESA to support a final extension of the Cluster mission during 2023-2025 is in doubt. We would like to ask for your help in our efforts to persuade ESA to support a final extension. 

Apologies, if you have seen this message more than once. If you have already responded, thank you!.

If you would like to show your support, please simply visit the following link, and add your name/institute/nation at the very end of the google document that you find there, at your earliest convenience. 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13sEBJh4A_TkiRO6i_LUJ6F_nfJkKnFqFFAU5smoM99g/edit

The document that you will find there consists of a letter that the Cluster PIs have drafted to send to ESA's Director of Science and the members of its Science Programme Committee (SPC). We aim to send the completed letter in mid-January, ahead of a key SPC Workshop in early February (which itself precedes the SPC meeting in March at which the extension decision is expected to be formalised).

From: Yiqun Yu, Dogacan Ozturk, Yoshizumi Miyoshi, Jim Raines, Hui Wang, Dedong Wang (yiqunyu17 at gmail.com)

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite your contributions to a special issue of "Particle Precipitation in the Earth and Other Planetary Systems: Sources and Impacts" in Frontiers in Astronomy & Space Sciences and Frontiers in Physics.

This research topic seeks contributions in revealing sources, characteristics, and responsible processes of particle precipitation, and consequent impacts on planets’ thermosphere and ionosphere, as well as the feedback effects within the integrated system.

We look for original research papers, commentaries, and review papers mainly focusing on:
(1) Physical processes associated with various types of particle precipitation in both the Earth and other planet systems (e.g., Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn), including plasma waves, pulsating aurora, different types of auroral forms, SEP events, and other potential mechanisms.
(2) The wide range of responses in the planets' thermosphere-ionosphere system to particle precipitation, including variations of neutral/electron density and velocity, temperature variability and irregularity, ion upwelling and outflow, composition variation, energy deposition and dissipation, electromagnetic and ground magnetic fluctuations.

Please goto the webpage for more details:

MEETING: Symposium on the Future of Heliospheric Science: From Geotail and Beyond -- 2nd Circular

From: Yoshifumi Saito (saito at stp.isas.jaxa.jp)

This is a reminder of an international symposium “Symposium on the Future of Heliospheric Science: From Geotail and Beyond” to be held at Koshiba-Hall, University of Tokyo, between 28 -31 March 2023.

The Geotail satellite, launched in July 1992 from Florida, U. S. A., as a joint project between ISAS (now JAXA) and NASA, has been studying the structure and dynamics of the magnetotail and other key regions of the magnetosphere. It has achieved epoch-making results, including numerous discoveries in magnetospheric physics. After more than three decades in operation, a failure of the onboard data recorder that occurred at the end of June has considerably reduced the amount of data that can be received, while data from some onboard instruments are no longer available. Therefore, we decided to end Geotail’s operation and the operation was terminated in the end of November, 2022.

The purpose of this symposium is to link the tremendous results of Geotail to the future by reviewing the achievements of Geotail to date and looking forward to the exploration of the inner heliosphere system that consists of several sub-systems, Geospace, planetary system, interplanetary space, and the Sun in the late 2020s. The exploration will further expand its area to the whole heliosphere beyond that time frame. The future exploration will also contribute to the space weather research/forecast that supports human activities in Geospace, Moon and other planets.

The symposium will be held in a hybrid format. In addition to invited talks, we plan to call for contributed papers (mainly poster papers). The call for contributed papers is scheduled to open on 16 January. We are also planning to publish the proceedings of the symposium as a special issue of T.B.D. journal.

Place:  Koshiba Hall, Hongo Campus, The University of Tokyo

Title: Realistic Ionosphere (RION): data fusion project of GIRO and GNSS

Speaker: Dr Ivan Galkin

Abstract: RION is an ISWI project that involves 69 ionosonde observatories in 32 countries with established agreements to share real-time data for continuous monitoring of the ionosphere. The RION's ionosonde network "GIRO" (Global Ionosphere Radio Observatory) has been in coordinated operation since 2004. Its Lowell GIRO Data Center (LGDC) operates nine online central data repositories and several data sharing and dissemination services. In addition to the public ionosonde data provision, LGDC operates assimilative real-time models of the ionosphere and trans-ionospheric signal propagation that constitute RION. The models include GAMBIT (Global Assimilative Modeling of Bottomside Ionosphere with Topside extension) that interfaces one the International GNSS Service centers in Olsztyn, Poland to build global maps of the effective ionospheric slab thickness. Current state of art and prospective way forward will be presented, including an upcoming Pan-European alert system T-FORS for forecasting TID activity based on Deep Learning techniques.

Post-doctoral position in space weather 

Swedish Institute of Space Physics is looking for a post-doctoral position, placed in Lund, in space weather with focus on detection and characterization of coronal mass ejections.

Space weather impacts technology through physical processes originating from the Sun and its interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. The effects on technology are well-known and may influence the operation and performance of satellites, communication, navigation, and electrical power distribution.

A key component in the solar-terrestrial system is the detection and characterization of coronal mass ejections.

The work will include analysis of coronal images from various spacecraft, analysis of in-situ solar wind data, and development of methods and algorithms. The goal is to develop models for automatic detection of coronal mass ejections as part of IRF’s space weather system.

The postdoctoral position will be part of IRF’s group on space weather, which includes scientists, software developers, and engineers from IRF’s different offices. IRF is a member of the International Space Environment Service and is responsible for Regional Warning Centre Sweden.

IRF also takes part in ESA’s Space Safety Programme within the Geomagnetic Expert Service Centre. The position will be part of international collaborations through existing networks but will also include the development of new networks.

We expect that you have relevant knowledge of plasma physics, solar-terrestrial physics, and space weather. Further, knowledge in one or several fields of statistical data analysis, machine learning, image analysis, and time series analysis is a merit. Our main programming language is Python.
