International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA); October 19-23, 2015; Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

该奖项将为赤道航空国际研讨会（ISEA）提供部分支持，该研讨会将为建立新的国际科学合作和促进非洲部门协调的长期数据收集提供机会。旅行支持将为来自美国的年轻科学家和研究生提供与国际舞台上的知名和新兴科学家互动的机会。ISEA会议大约每三到四年举行一次，汇集了国际研究人员，以促进对电离层-热层-磁层（ITM）耦合影响空间天气，导航和通信系统的理解。该地点位于埃塞俄比亚的Bahir Dar，将通过让当地科学家参与，促进非洲部门未来的数据收集工作。这将讨论赤道电离层效应和空间天气的纵向和半球依赖性。该奖项将由美国国家科学基金会航空项目和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

This award will provide partial support for the International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA) which will provide opportunities for the establishment of new international scientific collaborations and for facilitating coordinated long term data collection in the African sector. The travel support will provide opportunities for young scientists and graduate students from the US to interact with established and emerging scientists on the international stage. The ISEA conference is held approximately every three to four years and brings together international researchers to advance the understanding of the ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere (ITM) coupling which impacts space weather, navigation, and communication systems. The location at Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, will facilitate future efforts in data collection in the African sector by engaging local scientists. This will address the longitudinal and hemispheric dependence of equatorial ionospheric effects and space weather. This award will be jointly funded by the NSF Aeronomy Program and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
