10:30 AM Break
11:00 AM High Level Overview of Science Plans (Discussion Leader: Maria Spasojevic (Stanford))
- Team Action Item: Each group needs to submit one slide in advance so we can compile them into one document and take turns going around the room with a brief discussion. Thank you for those who already provided a slide.
- Overview of the recent meeting in Oslo on dayside cusp and polar cap ionosphere.
- Marc Lessard (UNH)
12:30 PM Lunch at Eberhardt Hall
02:00 PM Engineering Breakout Session
- DAU/DAS for ARRO/AGO
- Support into the future and possible redesign?
- Legacy support for units in the field as well as software for database/ground support.
- What improvements can be made?
- Stilts
- UNH will need to finalize design for ARRO “jackable” stilt design
- Discuss with field members advantages/disadvantages of current AGO design.
- What can we add/change to our current design to address current issues.
- Ground Support
- Where will the ground support hardware (antenna, hardware etc) exist for AGO?
- Where will the ground support hardware (antenna, hardware etc) exist for ARRO?
- Database for and data availability of data for ARRO and LPM.
- Does it make sense to merge this into the system already available at Augsburg and if so what would UNH need to provide to accomplish this.
- Future ARRO/AGO/LPM installations.
- What can be learned from AGO/LPM field crew to provide improvements for future installation
- Where can we overlap with respect to AGO/ARR/LPM O design to ease with support and design knowledge in the field.
- Discussion on power systems of all systems and AWP future availability
02:00 PM Recent Science Results, Event Studies, and Collaborative Projects
The following talks are not intended to be AGU is style. We want a workshop atmosphere.
