Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere
Dear VarSITI colleagues,
I am glad to invite you to participate in VarSITI Meeting to be held in Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Prague from October 6 to 10, 2017. The Meeting is organized to discuss the results of the VarSITI sponsored observational campaign titled ‘Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere’.
The campaign revealed a number of unexpected features in the topside ionosphere during the years of 2016÷2017. We hope the results will be useful for all researchers who study the space weather impact on the coupled atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system.

Campaign
Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere
Dear VarSITI colleagues,
We are ready to conduct the second observations in the frame of the campaign titled 'Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere' sponsored by VarSITI. We will use Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar from June 20, 19:00 UT to June 23, 00:00 UT to study the variations in the topside with the focus on H+ ion density.
The first observations (March 21÷24, 2017) brought us quite interesting results. We were lucky to conduct the measurements during the moderate storm and registered strong variation in the topside ionosphere. After the end of the storm, during the night of March 24, a factor of ~2.5 increase of H+ and electron densities was observed in the topside.
We invite all interested researchers to join the work on the effects of March 2017 storm and participate in the coordinated investigations next week with their research results and tools. We are welcome all your suggestions and proposed activities. These can be sent to the e-mail of the coordinator: dmitrykotoff[at]gmail.com.

Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions:
new results for inner magnetosphere
Dear VarSITI colleagues,
It is my pleasure to inform you of a first observations planned to be conducted in the frame of new campaign titled 'Coordinated investigations of topside H+ ions: new results for inner magnetosphere' sponsored by VarSITI.
Please see the detailed information on the aim and activities of the campaign on this site (click here)
We will use Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar from March 21, 20:00 UT to March 24, 00:00 UT to study the variations in H+, He+, O+, and electron densities, electron and ion temperatures within the altitude range from 180 km to 800 km. The data will be used for observational-based physical simulation of ionosphere-plasmasphere system (FLIP model). Further, the results will be compared with the ones for the previous solar minimum of 2006÷2009.
All interested researcher are invited to participate in the coordinated investigations using their research tools. We are welcome all your suggestions and proposed activities. These can be sent to the e-mail of the coordinator: dmitrykotoff[at]gmail.com (Dmytro Kotov).
