SORCE
Science Meeting
December 4-6, Sonoma, California –
The
next SORCE Science Meeting – Physical Processes
Linking Solar Radiation and Solar Variability with Global Climate
Change – is set for December 4–6,
2003 in Sonoma, California. This meeting will be the first science
meeting since the January 25th launch. The SORCE meeting dates
have been selected to accommodate people wanting to attend the
AGU meeting, which is the following week in San Francisco. We
encourage your attendance and hope that you will share this
announcement with colleagues. The early registration and hotel
reservation deadline is November 1.
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. Abstracts are due October 15.
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
Scientific
sessions planned for the meeting, with the following confirmed
speakers, are:
-
Solar
Radiation – Status of Current Measurements
– Gary Rottman, C. Fröhlich, SORCE Instrument Teams
-
Climate
Change Processes Involving Solar Radiation in the Troposphere
– G. Meehl, S. Hameed, S. Platnick, R. Cess
-

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”.
The scientific
organizing committee members are Judith Lean from NRL, Peter Pilewskie
from NASA Ames Research Center, and Doug Rabin from GSFC. They
are putting together an exciting agenda and everyone anticipates
a very interesting meeting.
