Hello,
After my last email I had hoped to start the SW Working Group in earnest by
allowing a small number of users to work together with EISCAT staff on the
prototype sub-array that we have here in Kiruna. This sadly has not happened.
Last year the best guidance that we had was that the prototype sub-array would
not be affected by the new security situation. We now know that allowing users
low level access to any part of EISCAT_3D is not permitted, so we cannot offer
the co-development phase that I had hoped for.
We are still looking for ways to cooperate more within the new rules. If you
have any ideas or suggestions please take them up with Harri at the EISCAT
symposium next month.
Have a good summer,
Simon

The Department of Physics at Umeå University is offering a postdoctoral
scholarship in modelling plasma stellar wind interactions with exoplanets.
The scholarship is full-time for two years and the start date is 1
September, 2022 or by agreement.
The aim of our project is to advance our current understanding on the
plasma interactions with planetary bodies of different sizes and
characteristics (magnetized and unmagnetized, with and without a
substantial atmosphere and ionosphere). Our focus will be on the kinetic
processes that govern the interaction with these bodies and our primary
focus will be on the atmospheric evolution using Amitis, a
high-performance hybrid-kinetic plasma model.
Last day to apply is 15 June 2022.
For more information, please contact Dr. Shahab Fatemi
(shahab.fatemi(a)umu.se) or Dr. Maria Hamrin (hamrin(a)space.umu.se).

Second Announcement:
20th International EISCAT Symposium, and 15th International LPMR
Workshop (Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause Region) August 15-19, 2022
Meeting website: https://www.space.irfu.se/workshops/LPMR-EISCAT
<https://www.space.irfu.se/workshops/LPMR-EISCAT>
Dear Colleagues,
the 15th International Workshop on Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause
Region (LPMR) and the 20th International EISCAT Symposium will be held
as a joint meeting in Sweden on August 15-19, 2022.
The LPMR workshop aims at advancing our understanding of mesospheric ice
clouds and related phenomena in the Earth’s mesosphere and lower
thermosphere, ranging from microphysics to the global and
solar-terrestrial processes controlling the region. The EISCAT Symposium
has its focus on incoherent scatter radar and on the
atmospheric/ionospheric science explored by this measurement method,
including the upcoming EISCAT_3D system. A goal of the joint meeting is
to bring the LPMR and EISCAT communities together, thus providing a
forum to learn more about scientific interests, recent advances and new
opportunities. The meeting will comprise both separate and combined LPMR
and EISCAT sessions.
The meeting will be held in Sundbyholm Castle at scenic Lake Mälaren,
approximately 80 km west of Stockholm. Note that the EISCAT-related
sessions will be held in a hybrid mode, thus also providing an option to
participate online.
For our planning, we very much would like you to submit a notification
of interest already now. You can specify how probable your participation
will be. Please check our Google form at
https://forms.gle/5M1eC5U1zTU1H9Rv8 <https://forms.gle/5M1eC5U1zTU1H9Rv8>.
Deadlines: At your earliest convenience: Notification of interest May
15: Abstract submission May 15: Application for reduced student fees
(shared accommodation) June 1: Registration
Conference fees will be all-inclusive, covering conference costs,
accommodation, meals. excursion etc. Preliminary fees are EUR 1310 / USD
1450 for ordinary participants, EUR 710 / USD 790 for accompanying
persons, EUR 750 / USD 830 for students in shared camping cottages, EUR
290 / USD 320 for online participants (available only for EISCAT sessions).
