Details can be found on the website http://iugg2019montreal.com/ and here: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JG05 - Remote Sensing and Modelling of the Atmosphere (IAG, IAGA, IAMAS, IAVCEI) Convener: Michael Schmidt (Germany, IAG) Co-Conveners: Lung-Chih Tsai (Taiwan, IAG), Robert Heinkelmann (Germany, IAG), Claudia Stubenrauch (France, IAMAS), Veronika Barta (Hungary, IAGA), Arnau Folch (Spain, IAVCEI) Symposium Description Satellite observations provide a continuous survey of our planet’s surrounding atmosphere, which is structured into distinct layers, according to e.g. temperature or charge state. Ionosphere, plasmasphere and thermosphere are manifestations of space weather; its impacts and risks are gaining more and more importance in politics and sciences, since our modern society is highly depending on space-borne techniques, e.g. for communication and positioning. Stratosphere and troposphere and their constituents are essential for life on our planet, and tropospheric water vapour is source of clouds and of precipitation, which in turn affect the large-scale circulation through heat transfer. The synergistic use of different instruments and modelling is leading to major advances in the understanding of our climate. This symposium invites contributions on advances in observing and understanding our atmosphere – from troposphere to magnetosphere. Specific topics are: • (near) real-time approaches to monitor and forecast the ionospheric state • combination of various observation techniques and improvement of the representation of atmospheric key parameters • interaction between atmospheric layers and Global Navigation Satellite System reflectometry • studies on space weather research and coupling processes in the upper atmosphere • studies on empirical atmosphere models, e.g. for the upper atmosphere, and numerical weather models • aerosol, cloud and radiation processes and interactions in the climate system • use of synergetic satellite observations and modelling for a better understanding of cloud processes and feedbacks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The deadline for abstract submission is approaching, namely February 18, 2019. We are looking forward to your contribution and seeing you in Montreal. Best regards, Michael, Lung-Chih, Robert, Claudia, Veronika, and Arnau ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- apl.
