Digital meeting due to the Corona pandemic

The EISCAT_3D (E3D) project has been officially started with an opening event on September 7, 2017, and is now constructing stage 1. A 11th user meeting was scheduled to take place with physical attendance in Uppsala, Sweden.

As a result of the pandemia and measures to constrain it, the plans for the 11th meeting had to be revised. We will go for online (Zoom) meetings of about half a day duration, with a monthly to bi-monthly cadence. As usual, the meetings should provide a forum for interested scientists who may or may not be directly involved in the design and construction of the E3D project, and also for persons working more with its administrative, logistic, and technical aspects.

The initial online E3D user meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 16, at 13-17 CET. A next meeting is foreseen for January 2021.

The suggested general subject of the 11th E3D User meeting is software interfaces between E3D and users, for scientific analysis of E3D data and perhaps also for radar operations. We’ll stick to the traditional scheme with short presentations followed by questions and discussion. Submissions of titles/short abstracts are welcome.

Registration

Please visit https://forms.gle/Z6kBUm1mDqh7NDv49 to register. Registration is needed to get the Zoom link for the meeting. The form also allows to submit optionally a title and short abstract of one presentation. Alternatively contact Stephan Buchert (scb@irfu.se) by email if you would like to present something of interest.

The suggested general subject is software interfaces between the E3D project and users, for scientific data analysis etc. Also comments on the new structure of the coming E3D user meetings are welcome.

Practical Information

The workshop will use the Zoom tool licensed by the Uppsala University. The server is operated by Uppsala University which assures that no data exchange with third parties occurs. We do not intend to record the meeting but will make presentation slides publicly available also for some time after the meeting, if the presenter agrees.
