[1] Summary of 2016 SARA Western Conference, 11-13 March, Prescott, Arizona USA by Julian Jove
The 2016 SARA Western Conference was held on the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus a few miles outside of Prescott, Arizona USA over the weekend of 11-13 March.
Ray Fobes was our host and he, Dave Westman, Keith Payea, and Lorraine Rumley worked hard to setup and manage the event. We had 33± attendees and speakers at this year's conference, including many familiar members and several new members from the local Yavapai Amateur Radio Club.
The conference agenda included a tour on Friday afternoon of the ERAU Radio Observatory, built under Ray Fobes' supervision, and presentations by SARA members and outside speakers on Saturday and Sunday.
The weather was very sunny and pleasant.

[2] Whitham D. Reeve Geomagnetic Activity during Alaska's 2015 Autumn,
Abstract:The solar wind and all disturbances within it, including coronal hole high-speed streams, corotating interaction regions, solar sector boundaries, coronal mass ejections and other transient magnetic phenomena, constitute space weather. There also are other Sun-caused events and phenomena in the solar wind that do not fit into these neat categories. Because the Sun’s magnetic field is embedded in the solar wind, space weather disturbances can strongly affect Earth's magnetosphere. The autumn in Alaska saw considerable geomagnetic activity caused by these phenomena.
