The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) Workshop; Scranton, Pennsylvania; March 17-18, 2023

该奖项提供支持火腿无线电科学公民调查（HamSCI）研讨会将于2023年3月17日至18日在斯克兰顿大学举行。HamSCI讲习班是一个年度讲习班，旨在使业余无线电和专业无线电空间科学界的成员聚集在一起，实现互利。这一系列讲习班促成了空间物理学、公民科学和使用众包电离层数据等领域的前沿工作。2023年HamSCI研讨会将邀请无线电科学，空间科学和空间天气领域的杰出领导者参加。2023年HamSCI研讨会特别重要和及时，因为专业科学和业余无线电社区都在为即将到来的2023年10月14日环食和2024年10月8日日全食做准备。这两次日食的路径都横扫美国大陆（CONUS）。这是2044年之前穿越美国本土的最后一次日食，因此是进行独特和“受控”电离层实验的重要、时间敏感、信息丰富的机会。 这次会议也将作为HamSCI个人空间气象站（PSWS）的一次两年一度的开发会议，该项目由NSF Aeronomy Distributed Array of Small Instruments（DASI）计划资助。在为期两天的研讨会期间，专业人士和业余爱好者聚集在一起，进行口头和海报演示，设备演示，并进行非正式讨论和与业余无线电和适用科学领域相关的网络。讲习班的主题包括利用业余无线电技术观测和了解电离层移动扰动背后的物理学、零星E、电离层对太阳耀斑和地磁暴的反应以及空间气象对无线电波传播的影响。预计将有100人亲自出席，最多有500名虚拟与会者。 这将是一个混合研讨会，有免费的互动变焦参与和火腿电台2.0 YouTube频道的直播，以确保最广泛的可访问性。所有的演讲都将在YouTube上存档，并通过hamsci.org提供。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 award provides support to the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) workshop to be held at the University of Scranton March 17-18, 2023. The HamSCI workshop is an annual workshop that aims to bring together members of the amateur radio and professional radio space science communities for mutual benefit. This workshop series has led to cutting-edge work in the fields of space physics, citizen science, and the use of crowd-sourced ionospheric data. The 2023 HamSCI Workshop will feature prominent leaders in radio science, space science, and space weather. The 2023 HamSCI workshop is particularly important and timely, as both the professional science and amateur radio communities are preparing for the upcoming 14 October 2023 annular solar eclipse and the 8 October 2024 total solar eclipse. Both eclipses have paths that sweep across the continental United States (CONUS). These are the last solar eclipses to traverse the CONUS until 2044, and are therefore important, time-sensitive, information-rich opportunities for running unique and “controlled” ionospheric experiments. This meeting will also serve as a bi-annual development meeting of the HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station (PSWS), a project funded through the NSF Aeronomy Distributed Array of Small Instruments (DASI) program.During this two-day workshop, professionals and amateurs come together to give oral and poster presentations, equipment demonstrations, and have informal discussions and networking related to both amateur radio and applicable scientific fields. The workshop topics include the use of amateur radio techniques for observing and understanding the physics behind traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), Sporadic E, the ionospheric response to solar flares and geomagnetic storms, and space weather effects on radio wave propagation. An attendance on the order of 100 people in person and up to 500 virtual participants is expected. This will be a hybrid workshop with free interactive Zoom participation and live streaming by the Ham Radio 2.0 YouTube channel to ensure broadest accessibility. All presentations will be archived on YouTube and made available through hamsci.org.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.
