International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Jicamarca Radio Observatory, the 13th International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA 13) will take place from 12th to 17th March, 2012 in Paracas, Perú.

ISEA is held approximately every three to four years and is a major event in the field of Aeronomy. It serves as a forum for scientists to report and discuss recent research results and progress relating to the physics of the mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere at equatorial, low- and mid-latitudes.

The ISEA 13 program includes eight scientific sessions with oral and poster portions, distributed over four and a half conference days. In addition, after the last day of ISEA, i.e., on Saturday, 17th March, 2012, there will be a full-day optional visit to the Jicamarca Radio Observatory to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

The ISEA13 scientific sessions are:

1. Irregularity Physics
2. E and F region coupling (low and mid latitude coupling)
3. Wave propagation between low/middle atmosphere and ionosphere
4. Plasma neutral coupling
5. Low and mid latitude Aeronomy and Electrodynamics
6. Ionospheric storms and Space weather effects at low and mid latitudes
7. New techniques, experiments, campaigns, and results
8. Future trends and challenges

Deadlines

The deadline for abstract submission is 30th November, 2011 and for financial support the deadline is 15th December, 2011.
