Dear ISWI Participant:

In this issue is some info from the recently held ISWI Steering Committee meeting of 7 Feb 2020 in Vienna, Austria. Especially important are the meeting minutes submitted by Pat Doherty see item [09] below.

COSPAR abstract dead line apparently has been changed to Feb. 23.

[3] A Summer School plus Conference on
"Nonstationary Signal Analysis in Geophysics and other fields” will take place
at Gran Sasso Science Institute, in L’Aquila, Italy, 13-18 July 2020

During the Summer School young researchers and PhD students will have a chance to learn and deepen their knowledge on new data analysis tools/techniques for non-stationary time series and their theoretical foundation.

The summer school will take place during the first 4 days and it will consist of three courses of 8 hours each. Lecturers:
*/Patrick Flandrin - ENS Lyon/**/ /**/Yang Wang - HKSTU/**/ /**/Hau-tieng Wu - Duke University/*

At the end of the school there will be a 3 days conference during which the speakers will show both the applications of these techiniques to real life data and present the current frontiers of the theoretical research.

Applications for prospective students of the Summer School, as well as speakers of the conference are now open.

For more information and to apply please visit the webpage of the event <http://people.math.gatech.edu/~acicone3/NoSAG20/NoSAG20_homepage.html>

[5] COSPAR 43rd Scientific Assembly Final call for abstracts

the 43rd Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Scientific Assembly will be held on 15 - 22 August 2020, in Sydney, Australia. As scientific organizers of the COSPAR session C1.4 "CSES and Swarm Data Analysis of the Ionosphere Dynamics at Different Temporal and Spatial Scales" and acknowledging your expertise in the related scientific fields, we would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract for /a solicited talk in/ session C1.4.

Event Description:
Observations provided by Chinese Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) and Swarm satellites are of uncommon variety and quality, and can play a key role for both Space Weather analysis (Geomagnetic activity, Magnetosphere-Ionosphere coupling) and Magnetosphere-Ionosphere- Lithosphere (MIL) coupling processes. CSES satellite can provide a large set of measurements: plasma parameters, geomagnetic field, ionospheric electric field and particles precipitation fluxes. Swarm satellites provide a very accurate magnetic field and plasma parameters (electron density and temperature) and velocity drift (vxB) measurements. The coupling between observations from those two satellites (measured in a Sun-synchronous orbit for CSES and at preceding LT for Swarm), gives an exceptional spatial coverage for unprecedented ionosphere dynamic investigations for different temporal and spatial scales. In addition, such amount of data can allow the test of innovative data analysis tools for non-linear time-frequency analysis.

More Information about COSPAR 2020 can be found at: http://cospar2020.org/ (general information, registration and hotel reservations) and https://www.cospar-assembly.org (scientific program, abstract submission)

We are looking forward to meet you at COSPAR 2020.

With our best wishes, Mirko Piersanti and Piero Diego.

[8] Los Alamos Space Weather Summer School:

The unique aspect of the Los Alamos Space Weather Summer School is its emphasis on scientific research projects. Students team up with LANL mentors to work on unresolved scientific problems in space physics. LANL is engaged in a wide variety of space-physics activities and offers a host of exciting research projects.
