Conference Support for the 60th Anniversary Workshop at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory; Lima, Peru; July 25-27, 2022

吉卡马卡射电观测站的60周年讲习班将于2022年7月在秘鲁利马举行。研讨会将纪念Jicamara射电观测站成立60周年，Jicamara射电观测站是致力于赤道大气、空间物理和空间气象研究的主要地球航天设施。Jicamara在大约60年前开始报道科学发现。讲习班的目的是纪念这一点，强调目前在赤道大气学和空间物理学方面正在进行的最重要的研究，并强调最近和计划对Jicamara进行的升级如何能够促进和加快这项研究。讲习班将汇聚赤道空文学和空间物理学领域最活跃的一些研究人员(及其学生)。一些特别值得庆幸的话题包括基本的非相干散射理论，山谷地区和顶部的等离子体不稳定性，空间天气预报，中性风测量，以及基于分布式仪器的实验方法。研讨会还将使航空界熟悉该领域的最新突破，传播关于最近和计划对Jicamara设施进行升级的信息，促进对学生和包括Jicamara利益相关者在内的职业早期专业人员的教育和培训，并通过在拉丁美洲举办研讨会来扩大对地球航天科学的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 60th Anniversary Workshop at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory will be held in Lima, Peru, in July of 2022. The workshop will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Jicamarca Radio Observatory, the premier geospace facility dedicated to research in equatorial aeronomy, space physics, and space weather. Jicamarca began reporting scientific findings approximately 60 years ago. The purpose of the workshop is to commemorate this, to highlight the most important research taking place in equatorial aeronomy and space physics presently, and to highlight how recent and planned upgrades to Jicamarca can contribute to and expedite this research. The workshop will bring together some of the most active researchers in equatorial aeronomy and space physics (and their students). Some particularly auspicious topics to be covered include fundamental incoherent scatter theory, plasma instabilities in the valley region and topside, space-weather forecasting, neutral wind measurements, and experimental methods based on distributed instruments. The workshop will also familiarize the aeronomy community with recent breakthroughs in the field, disseminate information about recent and planned upgrades to the Jicamarca facility, promote the education and training of students and early-career professionals, including Jicamarca stakeholders, and broaden participation in geospace sciences by convening a workshop in Latin America.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
