The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) Workshop; Cleveland, Ohio; March 22-23, 2024

该奖项为业余无线电科学公民调查（HamSCI）研讨会提供支持，该研讨会将于2024年3月22日至23日在凯斯西储大学举行。HamSCI研讨会是一个年度研讨会，旨在将业余无线电和专业无线电空间科学界的成员聚集在一起，实现互利共赢。这个系列的研讨会在空间物理、公民科学和使用众包电离层数据等领域引领了前沿工作。2024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袖。本次研讨会旨在探讨2023年的日食结果，并为即将到来的2024年日食事件做准备。会议主题“对齐”的灵感来自最近的2023年和即将到来的2024年日食，也涉及HamSCI倡议的科学战略：大学业余无线电娱乐与STEM课程之间的对齐；在数据收集和分析之间；在专业科学和公民科学之间。在为期两天的研讨会中，专业人士和业余爱好者聚集在一起进行口头和海报展示，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。已经邀请了几位杰出的演讲者。2024年的研讨会将继续在以往HamSCI会议的主题上取得进展，包括使用业余无线电技术来观测和理解电离层扰动背后的物理学，散发E，电离层对太阳耀斑和地磁风暴的响应，以及空间天气对无线电波传播的影响。本次会议还将作为HamSCI个人空间气象站（PSWS）的两年一次的讨论论坛，该项目由NSF航空分布式小型仪器阵列（DASI）计划资助。这将是一个混合研讨会，免费互动Zoom参与，并通过业余电台2.0 YouTube频道进行直播，以确保最广泛的可访问性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行了评估，认为值得支持。

This award provides support to the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) workshop to be held at Case Western Reserve University between March 22-23, 2024. 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 2024 HamSCI Workshop will feature prominent leaders in radio science, space science, and space weather. This workshop aims at discussing the 2023 solar eclipse results and prepare for the upcoming 2024 solar eclipse event. The meeting theme of “Alignment”, inspired by the recent 2023 and upcoming 2024 solar eclipses, refers also to alignment within the scientific strategy of the HamSCI initiative: between collegiate amateur radio recreation and STEM curriculum; between data collection and analysis; between professional and citizen science. 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. Several distinguished speakers have been invited. The 2024 workshop will continue to make headway on topics of past HamSCI meetings, including the use of amateur radio techniques for observing and understanding the physics behind traveling ionospheric disturbances, Sporadic E, the ionospheric response to solar flares and geomagnetic storms, and space weather effects on radio wave propagation. This meeting will also serve as a bi-annual discussion forum for the HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station (PSWS), a project funded through the NSF Aeronomy Distributed Array of Small Instruments (DASI) program. 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.
