Posted through the URSI-Commission-G Mailing List: Session GH: Radio sounding techniques for the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

[Lee-Anne McKinnell]

URSI-GA 2008
XXIX General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science
7 ? 16 August 2008
Chicago, USA

Call for papers: Session GH: Radio sounding techniques for the  
ionosphere and magnetosphere.
Convenors: Lee-Anne McKinnell (SA) (G) and Gordon James  (Ca) (H)

Summary: Techniques in radio sounding the ionosphere and magnetosphere  
have advanced considerably in the past 10 years. This session will  
address the latest techniques in ionosondes and space-borne sounders  
and how these may generate a new understanding of the complex geospace  
environment. Solicited and contributed papers covering ionosondes,  
space sounders and the applications of these sounders in the field of  
space physics research will make up this session. Papers that  
highlight the differences in the current available sounders as well as  
those highlighting new sounding techniques will be welcome.

Contributions to the above mentioned session of URSI GA08 are  
solicited. You are receiving this email because we believe that you  
and your group would be able to contribute significantly to this  
session and we would like to encourage you to submit an abstract. It  
is envisaged that there will be both poster and 11 oral papers  
highlighting the differences in sounding techniques, and creating a  
discussion platform for new techniques.

Contributors are reminded that the abstract submission deadline is 31  
January 2008.
General information about the GA08 and about the submission of  
abstracts is available through the following web link:
