Posted through the URSI-Commission-G Mailing List: URSI GA08 Session GHE: Modification of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere

[Kosch, Mike]

The URSI GA08 will take place on 9-16 August 2008 in Chicago, USA. The
deadline for URSI abstract submissions on 31 January is fast
approaching. We encourage submissions to session GHE: Modification of
the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere, as described below. To submit a paper
and for further details please go to:

GHE: Modification of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere

 

This session will include chemical and radio frequency methods and

natural lighting effects. There is a separate session led by Commission
H on Wave

Particle Interactions and Radiation Belt Remediation. A number of active
techniques for

perturbing the natural space environment have been employed to both
study the response

of the ionosphere and/or magnetosphere and to investigate fundamental
plasma physics in

an unbounded medium. The principal technique of interest here is the use
of high power,

high frequency (HF) radio waves to induce numerous space plasma effects
such as

elevated temperature, electron acceleration, artificial airglow,
stimulated electromagnetic

emissions, and the formation of density irregularities. Furthermore, it
is anticipated that

the recently completed High frequency Active Auroral Research Program
(HAARP) HF

transmitter near Gakona, Alaska will achieve higher effective radiated
power levels than

previous or existing facilities and may facilitate the discovery and
exploration of new

non-linear HF wave-plasma interactions. This session seeks papers
addressing the nature

of radio wave-plasma effects, their dependence on specific radio wave
properties, such as

frequency, power, polarization and orientation with respect to the
geomagnetic field, and

the physical processes responsible for their occurrence. Presentations
dealing with other

active techniques, such as in situ chemical releases, including rocket
motor exhaust

effects, are also welcome.
