[Eiscat-user] URSI 2023 General Assembly Session G8 is now open

The call for papers of the URSI 2023 General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (Sapporo, 19-26 August, 2023) is now open. We encourage the community to submit achievements, results, and thoughts on next generation incoherent scatter facilities and networks to the session G08: New results and contemporary developments in incoherent scatter radar This session will focus on advances in technique and scientific results within the field of incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observations of the geospace environment. The ISR technique represents the most powerful ground-based probe of the ionospheric plasma, and allows extensive and precise studies of processes and features in the ionosphere, atmosphere, plasmasphere, and magnetosphere. The session provides a platform concentrating on results from coordinated, multi-radar experiments along with opportunities for discussion of upcoming plans using existing and future facilities. Topics of interest include long-period continuous runs for long term trend studies, World Day program operations and suggested changes, sensor fusion analysis with ISR data as a central feature, harmonization of ISR data outputs, and advanced derived scientific products. Contributions are also welcome regarding planning of next generation observations using future advanced ISR facilities and networks. ------ Please visit the conference website https://www.ursi-gass2023.jp/ and submit your abstract to our session by 23 January 2023. We are looking forward to receiving your contribution.
