2016 Workshop: CEDAR campaigns
Shasha Zou
Both CMEs and recurrent magnetic activity can trigger geospace disturbances. Over the last a few years, campaigns associated with both types of disturbances were conducted, e.g., (1) March 17-25, 2015 St. Patrick’s Day campaign was for a superstorm associated with the overlapping effect of CME and solar wind high speed streams (HSS), and the campaigns in (2) March 31-April 4, 2014, (3) September 24-29, 2014, and more recently (4) March 13-18, 2016 are all periods of HSS with their origins in coronal holes. These data have been available in Madrigal/CEDAR database. We welcome short presentations associated with these (but not limited to) campaigns that can stimulate discussions on the MITM coupling processes of various spatial and temporal scales. Both ground-based radio and optical remote sensing and coincident satellite observations are solicited. Simulation and data assimilation that help understand in depth the mass and energetic exchange processes during those space weather disturbances are also welcome.

Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere (MITM) coupling processes are some of the main themes of the CEDAR science. Observations from ground-based and space-based instruments are essential for advancing CEDAR sciences and making new discoveries. Historically, observational campaigns were the main mode to collect key parameters from multiple instruments at locations of various geophysical importance during specific geophysical events. The multivariate-system nature of our research requires such simultaneous and carefully coordinated sets of observations spanning the varied aspects and regions of the system utilizing both ground-based sensor networks and satellites. This campaign tradition is continued in recent years, focusing on space weather, with a significant worldwide extension, but the NSF Geospace facilities have been still playing central roles. The goal of this workshop is to address the stormtime coupled SAIR (Space Atmosphere Interaction Region), the target area of the CEDAR science using some of the recent observational campaigns. The proposed workshop addresses the CEDAR Strategic Thrust #2: Explore Exchange Processes at Interfaces and Boundaries.
