The SMEI, IPS, and Ulysses Toyokawa Space Weather Workshop

SMEI， IPS和Ulysses Toyokawa空间天气研讨会摘要该奖项支持行星际闪烁（IPS）国际研讨会，这是一种在空间天气重要研究领域中观测日冕的地面技术。该研讨会将汇集全球IPS射电天文台的主要研究人员，以标准化IPS数据格式，并提供校准单个IPS系统的方法，这些系统结合了2007年8月由美国宇航局尤利西斯航天器和美国空军的太阳质量喷射成像仪（SMEI）太阳层白光成像仪收集的观测数据，这些数据将在尤利西斯性能峰值期间运行。这次会议将于2007年10月30日至31日在日本东川举行，由加州大学圣地亚哥分校和名古屋大学的日地环境实验室（STELab）联合组织。来自澳大利亚、欧洲、墨西哥、俄罗斯和英国的IPS观测站的研究人员也将参加。2名美国初级研究员和1名本科生将参加会议。预测太阳风扰动的能力将有助于保护易受空间环境条件影响的技术系统。

OISE-0738098 (Jackson, University of California at San Diego)The SMEI, IPS, and Ulysses Toyokawa Space Weather WorkshopAbstract This award supports an international workshop on interplanetary scintillations (IPS), a ground-based technique for observing solar corona in the important research area of space weather. The workshop will bring together leading researchers of worldwide IPS radio observatories to standardize the IPS data format and to provide ways to calibrate individual IPS systems incorporating observational data gathered from the August 2007 close pass of the Sun by NASA Ulysses spacecraft and the Air Force's Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) heliospheric white-light imager, which will be operational during peak Ulysses performance. The meeting, to be held October 30-31, 2007 in Toyokawa, Japan, will be jointly organized by the University of California at San Diego and the Solar-Terrestrial Environmental Laboratory (STELab) at Nagoya University. Researchers from IPS observatories in Australia, Europe, Mexico, Russia, and U.K. will also participate. Two U.S. junior researchers and one undergraduate will participate in the meeting. The ability to predict the onset of solar wind disturbances will help protect technical systems that are susceptible to conditions in the space environment.
