CEDAR Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions

1. CEDARCoupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions Jan J. Sojka* On behalf of Sixto Gonz�lez and the CEDAR Science Steering Committee

2. CEDAR Organization and Structure

3. CEDAR - IHY Collaborations and Associations Create a tangible presence in CEDAR, i.e., via a working group. Needs to be a �grass roots� effort. Create IHY campaigns by specific liaison between IHY leaders and specific CEDAR working groups who either have existing infrastructure available or who�s science objectives complement IHY�s. Have an existing working group sponsor IHY activities such as preparations for an IHY campaign. Contribute IHY status update reports for the CEDAR post.

4. So What are CEDAR Working Groups and Workshops? Grass roots efforts by scientists who are interested in CEDAR science. Kick-off workshops are held at the annual CEDAR meeting, advertised via newsletters, etc. Community response in the form of participation leads to growth and activity. Working groups fade away when their �time is up.� Working groups cover all aspects of CEDAR: novel instrumentation facilities associations with other organizations regional science topical science future science data assimilation and modeling student workshops

13. Summary CEDAR�s involvement of Aeronomers at all levels is through working groups and their �sponsored� workshops. The prior list of workshops provides key names of working group leaders. Is there an IHY link in these lists? Who will lead an IHY-CEDAR working group/campaign? Last year we had 24 workshops at CEDAR. Listed are over 60 scientists. A workshop can be: a round table discussion, an organized set of speakers, in promptu speakers, a tutorial-led discussion, etc.
