This award is to support an International Chapman Conference on Longitude and Hemispheric Dependence of Space Weather. This conference will bring together an international group of heliophysics scientists to plan and discuss current and needed observations at mid and low latitudes in the African longitude sector, a region that has never been explored in detail using ground-based instruments. Strong interaction between scientists from instrument donors and host institutes is crucial in order to have successful instrument deployment and continuous data retrieval process. The conference will focus on at least six main science topics (1) Hemispherical Dependence of Magnetospheric Energy Injection, (2) Longitude and Hemispheric Dependence of Storm-Enhanced Densities (SED), (3) Response to New Time-History of Solar Flares, (4) Quiet-Time Longitude Spatial Structure, (5) Temporal Response to the Lower-Atmosphere Disturbances, and (6) Climatology of TEC/Scintillation in Different Longitude Sectors. For the United States this conference will provide great opportunity for young scientists and graduate students to meet international expertise and earn international experience for their future international collaboration. In Africa, this conference will create opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their inspiration to space science and perform research activities in the future within their own countries.

该奖项是为了支持关于空间天气的经度和半球相关性的国际查普曼会议。这次会议将汇集一个由太阳物理学科学家组成的国际小组，规划和讨论非洲经度地区目前和需要的中低纬度观测，该地区从未使用地面仪器进行过详细探测。仪器捐赠者和东道国研究所的科学家之间的密切互动对于成功部署仪器和持续的数据检索过程至关重要。会议将集中讨论至少六个主要科学专题(1)磁层能量注入的半球相关性，(2)风暴增强密度(SED)的经度和半球相关性，(3)对新的太阳耀斑时间历史的响应，(4)平静时间经度空间结构，(5)对低层大气扰动的时间响应，以及(6)不同经度区段的TEC/闪烁的气候学。对于美国来说，这次会议将为年轻科学家和研究生提供接触国际专业知识和为未来的国际合作积累国际经验的绝佳机会。在非洲，这次会议将为本科生创造机会，增强他们对空间科学的灵感，并在未来在自己的国家开展研究活动。
