Conference in Dusty Plasmas; Seattle, Washington

该奖项是颁发给参加者的，他们将出席1999年11月14日至19日在华盛顿西雅图与美国物理学会等离子体物理学分会联合举行的“尘埃等离子体小型会议”并发表演讲。 尘埃等离子体在低电离层的高层大气中起着重要的作用。 例如，日冕云的形成及其在确定D区动力学中的作用是一个具有重大意义的突出问题。 尘埃等离子体还有许多其他重要的应用。 它是一门发展迅速的跨学科科学，具有广阔的发展前景。 美国物理学会将为主要受邀演讲者提供资金，否则他们将因缺乏资金而无法参加会议。 这些发言者的参与对于保持本次会议的高质量科学内容是必要的。

This award is for participants to attend and deliver lectures at the "Dusty Plasma Mini Conference" to be held in conjunction with the American Physical Society (APS), Division of Plasma Physics Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, 14-19 November 1999. Dusty Plasmas play an important role in the aeronomy of the lower ionosphere. For example, the formation of noctilucent clouds and its role in determining the dynamics of the D region is an outstanding problem of significant interest. There are a number of other important applications of dusty plasmas as well. It is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary science with a promising future. The American Physical Society will provide funding to key invited speakers, who would otherwise be unable to attend the meeting due to lack of funds. The participation of these speakers is necessary to maintain a high quality of scientific content for this conference.
