The Fifteen (15th) International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA); Ahmedabad, India; October 22-26, 2018

本次会议补助金要求资金，使14名学生和年轻的研究人员参加第15届国际研讨会赤道高层大气物理学（ISEA）在阿赫梅达巴德，印度在2018年10月22日至26日。ISEA是大约每四年举行一次的重要国际会议。来自世界各地的科学家聚集在一起交流思想，计划观测活动，并听取低纬度大气和电离层物理学的最新科学发展。自1972年以来，所有过去研讨会的演讲都作为同行评审期刊特刊的一部分出版。 国际空间探索机构展示的科学进展促进了对电离层-热层-磁层耦合及其对通信和导航的影响的了解。ISEA在印度的位置将鼓励印度和非洲次大陆发展中国家的年轻研究人员参加，并将他们与发达国家的研究人员联系起来。参加这次会议可能会在大气和空间科学领域领导一个全球性的、多样化的劳动力队伍。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This conference grant requests funds to enable 14 students and young investigators to attend the 15th International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA) in Ahmedabad, India during October 22-26, 2018. The ISEA is a major international conference held approximately quadrennially. Scientists from around the world gather to exchange ideas, plan observing campaigns, and listen to the latest scientific developments on the low-latitude atmospheric and ionospheric physics. Since 1972, presentations from all past workshops are published as part of special editions of peer-reviewed journals. Scientific advances showcased at the ISEA advance understanding of ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere coupling, and impacts upon communication and navigation. The location of the ISEA in India will encourage attendance from young researchers in developing nations in the Indian and African subcontinents and connect them to researchers from developed nations. Attendance of this conference can potentially lead a global, diverse workforce in the atmospheric and space sciences.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.
