SORCE scientists
are thrilled to be fulfilling a dream, where instrument measurements
are exceeding expectations and the Sun is cooperating by providing
a most serendipitous display of unpredictable power.

more about how the SORCE instruments are measuring the recent
solar activity, visit the SORCE website home page – http://lasp.colorado.edu/sorce/.
SORCE
Science Meeting
December 4-6, Sonoma, California –
The science
program for the upcoming SORCE Meeting – Physical Processes
Linking Solar Radiation and Solar Variability with Global Climate
Change – is set. The meeting will be devoted to our understanding
of the physical processes that connect the Sun’s radiation
and its variability to our terrestrial environment, including
the processes involved with climate and ozone response to solar
radiative forcing and the mechanisms that cause solar activity
and radiation variations.
With over 60 abstracts submitted, the agenda will consist of both
invited and contributed oral presentations and posters. The detailed
agenda and abstracts are available on the SORCE Meeting website
–
http://lasp.colorado.edu/sorce/sonoma_science_meeting_agenda.html
The meeting
will begin in the morning, December 4, with three keynote overview
presentations:
J. Eddy
– Current status of Sun-climate connections and possible
processes
V. Ramaswamy
– Current status of the Sun’s role in global change
J. Hall
– Current status of Solar-stellar relationships
Scientific
sessions and speakers over the two and half days include:
- Solar
Radiation – Status of Current SORCE Measurements

The featured speaker at the meeting dinner on
Thursday evening, Dec. 4, will be Dr. John Eddy. He will be speaking
on “Tales of the Sun and Climate”.
Poster presentations will be set up for viewing
all day Thursday and Friday, with a special focus to be given
late afternoon both days. The Bay Area Environmental Research
Institute (BAER) is sponsoring a special poster reception on Friday.
Poster abstracts are currently available on the SORCE Meeting
website.
The scientific organizing committee members are
Judith Lean from NRL, Peter Pilewskie from NASA Ames Research
Center, and Doug Rabin from GSFC. They have put together an exciting
agenda and everyone anticipates a very interesting meeting.
