  1. NIPR symposium 3-4 Aug. 2006 Current status of the ICESTAR project during the IPY2007-2008 Akira Kadokura Upper Atmospheric Science Group National Institute of Polar Research National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR)

  2. 1st IPY (International Ploar Year) (1882-1883)12 countries participated • 2nd IPY (1932-1933) 40 countries participated • IGY (1957-1958)67 countries & 80,000 scientists countries Common instruments and data processing Established the WDC system • IPY2007-2008 (March 2007 - March 2009) ICSU and WMO cosponsoringICSU : The International Council for Science WMO : World Meteorological Organizationhttp://www.ipy.org/ IPY2007-2008

  3. Objectives of IPY 2007-08 Utilise the vantage point of the polar regions to carry out an intensive and internationally coordinated research activities and observations. Leavea legacy of observing sites, facilities and systems to support ongoing polar research and monitoring Strengthen and enhance international collaboration and co-operation in polar regions research and monitoring Addressboth polar regionsand their global interactions Linkresearchers across different fields to address questions and issues lying beyond the scope of individual disciplines Ensuredata collected under the IPY are made available in an open and timely manner Attract, engage and develop a new generation of polar researchers, engineers and logistics experts Engage the awareness, interest and understanding of schoolchildren, the general public…..

  4. ICESTAR:Interhemispheric Conjugacy Effects in Solar-Terrestrial and Aeronomy Research IHY: International Heliophysical Year Presented as Expression of Intent (EoI) for IPY2007-2008. Merged into ICESTAR/IHY as one of the core projects. Title of activity : ICESTAR/IHY - Interhemispheric Conjugacy in Geospace Phenomena and their Heliospheric Drivers ICESTAR co-chairs: KirstiKauristie (FMI)Allan Weatherwax (Siena College) ICESTAR / IHY

  5. Four Thematic Action Groups of ICESTAR A.Quantify and understand the similarities and differences between the Northern and Southern polar upper atmospheres. Contact : Martin Fullekrug (University of Bath, U.K.) B.Quantify the effects on the polar ionosphere and atmosphere of the magnetospheric electromagnetic fields and plasma populations. Contact :Eftyhia Zesta (UCLA, USA) C.Quantify the atmospheric consequences of the global electric circuit and further understand the electric circuit in the middle atmosphere. Contact :Scott Palo (University of Colorado, USA) ,Nikolai Østgaard (University of Bergen, Norway) D.Create a data portal that will integrate all of the polar data sets and modeling results.  Contact :Aaron Ridley (University of Michigan, USA) ,Allan Weatherwax (Siena College)

  7. ICESTAR Steering Committe as appointed by SCAR Allan Weatherwax USA Kirsti Kauristie Finland Nikolai Østgaard Norway Maurizio Candidi Italy Vladimir Papitashvili USA Natsuo Sato Japan Claudio Rafanelli JCADM

  8. Selected Achievements in 2005 - 2006 • ICESTAR scientists presented nearly 40 papers to the Open Science Conference at the 2006 SCAR meeting in Hobart • ICESTAR hosted aData Portal and Virtual Observatory Workshopin Toulouse, France, July 2005 • ICESTAR has taken leadership role inHeliosphere Impact on Geospace, one of the core projects of the fourth International Polar Year programme • ICESTAR co-sponsors scientific sessions at European and American Geophysical Union Meetings in 2006 • 11 invited presentation in 2005-2006 • 37 contributed talks and/or posters at AGU/GEM/ICS8…other meetings • ICESTAR group leader Prof. Østgaard leads an IPY/ICESTAR Proposal submitted to the Norwegian Research Council • 8 letters of support written in the past six months

  9. Selected papers presented at Open Science Conference at the SCAR meeting during 12-14 July, 2006 in Hobart • ICESTAR: Observations of Energetic Particle Effects on the Polar Middle-Atmosphere • Japanese Activity for the ICESTAR Program during the IPY2007-2008 Period • ICESTAR: Deployment of Virtual Observatories In Cyberspace Towards Creating the Worldwide Fabric of Geophysical Data • ICESTAR: Simultaneous Antarctic observations of Polar Mesospheric Clouds and Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes • ICESTAR - Interactions Between Planetary Waves and Tides in the Antarctic Middle Atmosphere • ICESTAR: Solar-terrestrial and aeronomy research during the International Polar Year • ICESTAR: Deploying a Virtual Geophysical Observatory and Data Portal at a Small Liberal Arts College • ICESTAR: Pi1B pulsations and their association with substorm onset • ICESTAR: Conjugate ULFobservations from auroral latitudes to the inner magnetosphere • ICESTAR: Auroral conjugacy studies • ICESTAR: Inter-hemispheric Comparison of 11-year Solar Cycle Response of OH airglow Temperature Observations • ICESTAR: Polar Mesospheric Clouds observed by an iron Boltzmann lidar at the South Pole and Rothera, Antarctica • ICESTAR Observations of the Semidiurnal Tide at Southern Polar Latitudes with SABER and Mesospheric Radars • ICESTAR: Vertical Coupling of the Atmosphere over Antarctica via Atmospheric Tides • ICESTAR: Vertical Electrodynamic Coupling

  10. IPY/ICESTAR kickoff Meeting • Feb 5-9 2007 • Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki • Topics • Get together • Management issues: Steering committee etc. • PR- and Outreach programme • Campaign schedule • Cataloging the instrumentation maintained by the Programme • Data sharing issues

  11. ICESTAR - Plans for the future SuperDARN array major upgrade in the southern hemisphere. New radars to be installed: China Zhong Shan USA South Pole Italy and France Concordia pair Danger: Late installation for IPY Halley radar moved: timing within IPY

  12. Relation with other programmmes/ICSU bodies • CAWSES/ICESTAR joint activity: joint meeting in planning. CAWSES (Climate And Weather in the Sun Earth System) is the five year scientific program of SCOSTEP • ILWS meeting at COSPAR in BEIJING: International Living With a Star program, plans ground based segment of investigations; will be tightly related to ICESTAR. SCOSTEP formed joint committee, for common planning of ILWS observations

  13. Japanese activity for the ICESTAR • To maintain and intensify the conjugate observations ( Syowa – Iceland, South Pole – Iqaluit (Canada) ) • To transfer the data to Japan in near real time • To make the data accessible for the community more quickly and more easily. • To develop the unmanned magnetometer network in the Antarctic. • To maintain other facilities at Syowa Station, including the two SuperDARN radars, etc. • To do coordinated studies using MF radar, Meteo radar, EISCAT radar, etc. • To do feasibility studies for the MST/IS radar(PANSY)at Syowa

  14. Conjugate Observation at Syowa and Iceland

  15. Iqaluit (Canada) field line South Pole ConjugateObservationbetween South Poleand Iqaluit(planned) • Project team: Y. Ebihara, N. Sato, et al. (NIPR, Japan)A.T. Weatherwax(Siena College, USA) P.T. Jayachandran(Univ. of New Brunswick, Canada)

  16. Acquisition of the Syowa - Iceland conjugate data Monitoring data, IRIO, Aurora TV ICELAND by air network CAI NIPR Monitoring data, IRIO, HF, MF network (1 Mbps) SYOWA by ship All the data
