The SMEI, IPS, and Ulysses Toyokawa Space Weather Workshop

OISE-0738098（杰克逊，位于圣地亚哥的加州大学）SMEI、IPS和Toyokawa空间天气研讨会摘要该奖项支持一个关于行星际闪烁（IPS）的国际研讨会，IPS是一种在空间天气重要研究领域观测日冕的地面技术。该讲习班将汇集全世界IPS无线电观测站的主要研究人员，使IPS数据格式标准化，并提供校准各个IPS系统的方法，这些系统将利用美国航天局近地天体航天器和空军的太阳质量抛射成像仪日光层白光成像仪2007年8月近距离掠过太阳时收集的观测数据，该成像仪将在近地天体性能最佳时运行。该会议将于2007年10月30日至31日在日本丰川举行，由位于圣地亚哥的加州大学和位于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天文台的研究人员。 也将参加。两名美国初级研究人员和一名本科生将参加会议。预测太阳风扰动开始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.
