November 28 - December 02, 2011 - Namur, Belgium
Splinter - Atmospheric Effects Topical Group
S. Bruinsma (CNES)
Thursday, Dec 1, 14:00-16:00
The high-level objective of the Atmospheric effects TG is the determination of the relationship between the neutral atmosphere structure and variability, and satellite drag. The following key questions are addressed:
- What are the scales (time and space) of the density and wind variability due to EUV radiation, geomagnetic disturbances, and forcing due to disturbances propagating from lower altitudes?
- Which indices should be used to represent solar EUV/UV and geomagnetic activity?
- What is the accuracy of upper atmosphere density and wind models (empirical or first-principles models), what are the shortages in terms of science? 4 - What is the accuracy of solar and geomagnetic activity forecasts?
- Which density data sets are pertinent to use in this study, i.e., for analysis and to improve models, and which information is missing (i.e., is there a key question we cannot address presently)?
- ATMOP - MURI/NADIR (US Air Force grant) workshop debriefing
- ATMOP (FP7) - present status
- ESA ITT GOCE + theme 3 "Air density and wind retrieval using GOCE data" - first results
- AOB
