Trends 2014 - completed

Trends 2014 meeting was successfully completed. A number of topics were covered. For me personally, the most interesting new information was that the trends affect the space debris population. Hence, we need to follow the foF2 and hmF2 trends... and of course EISCAT and EISCAT_3D space debris measurements are important in this business! Also, bit of Ethiopia news: American colleagues will install two Fabry-Perot interferometers to Ethiopia during the coming autumn!

I presented my own stuff today and talked about dynamic linear models and estimation of time-varying hmF2 trend of the Sodankylä ionosonde data (see Figure below).

Hence, time to travel up to Sodankylä, ETA Friday evening 23 LT! (stopping at London for Th-Fr night)

hmF2 dynamic trend for Sodankylä 1957-2014.

Trends 2014, Cambridge UK, July 28-31

This week, in Cambridge UK, takes place 8th Workshop on Long-Term Changes and Trends in the Atmosphere 2014. The meeting started on Monday morning and will run until Thursday afternoon. I will have my talk on Thursday! As this meeting is not 'inverse problems', i.e. I am out of my comfort zone, so today we will simply feature photos from the conference venue Clare College. (It is absolutely stunning and beautiful college.) I will come back to the science covered later this week (hopefully) !!
