SORCE
Science Meeting
December 4-6, Sonoma, California –
The registration numbers for the upcoming SORCE
Science Meeting – Physical Processes Linking Solar
Radiation and Solar Variability with Global Climate Change
– are up and the meeting is sure to be exciting. If you
haven’t registered yet, there is still space available to
attend. The early registration and hotel reservation deadline
is November 1. The abstract deadline was October
15 and the response was excellent. A tentative science program
will be posted on the SORCE meeting website soon.
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.
The agenda will consist of both invited and contributed oral presentations
and posters.
The meeting will include the following 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

The featured
speaker at the meeting dinner on Thursday evening, Dec. 4, will
be Dr. John Eddy. He will speak on “Tales of the Sun and
Climate”.
The scientific organizing committee members are Judith Lean from
NRL, Peter Pilewskie from NASA Ames Research Center, and Doug
Rabin from GSFC. They are currently putting together an exciting
agenda and a schedule of talks and posters should be available
in early November. Presenters will be notified and the schedule
will be posted on the meeting website.
