You are invited to attend the 10th Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause Region workshop. The goal of LPMR-10 is to advance our understanding of ice layers in the region of the mesopause and the environment in which they form. The workshop is sponsored by the LPMR parent organization, the International Commission on the Middle Atmosphere (ICMA). It provides a forum for presentation and discussion of new results, new questions and new ideas ranging from the microphysics of mesospheric particles to the global processes controlling the state of the mesosphere. Researchers working on all aspects of these problems are invited to participate including data analysis, ground-based, in-situ and satellite measurements, laboratory studies, and modeling and theoretical studies of mesospheric ice phenomena and their coupled dynamical, radiative, chemical, and plasma environment. The workshop promotes discussion of the current state of knowledge and of future directions for international, interdisciplinary cooperation. A comfortable, collaborative environment is a hallmark of the LPMR workshops.
The LPMR-10 Workshop will be held at The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center in Blacksburg, Virginia. Activities will begin Monday evening with an informal welcome gathering at 6:30pm. The conference will begin at 9am on Tuesday in the Assembly Hall of the Conference Center. Wednesday's highlights include an afternoon excursion and team dinner at Chateau Morrisette. The main session will conclude after lunch on Thursday.
Sessions:
Each session will begin with a brief summary followed by the session
chair opening the discussion portion of the session. All presentations
will be short and informal, with the emphasis on discussion. This
workshop is the ideal time to share ideas and experience and the
discussion and interactions will be central to meeting our workshop
goals.
Presentations:
Speakers will have access to an overhead projector, a computer projector
and portable computers (MAC and PC) loaded with the latest version of
Power Point.
