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

该奖项将为国际赤道大气学专题讨论会提供部分支持，该专题讨论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机会，在国际舞台上与老牌和新兴科学家互动。ISEA会议大约每三至四年举行一次，国际研究人员齐聚一堂，以促进对影响空间气象、导航和通信系统的电离层-热层-磁层(ITM)耦合的了解。设在埃塞俄比亚巴赫达尔的办事处将通过聘用当地科学家，促进非洲部门今后的数据收集工作。这将解决赤道电离层效应和空间天气的纵向和半球相关性问题。该奖项将由美国国家科学基金会大气学计划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.
