The Eighth International Workshop on Layered Phenomena in the Mesopause
Region (LPMR-8) will be held at the Geophysical Institute (GI),
University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) on 20-23 August 2007.
The goal of LPMR-8 is to advance understanding of mesospheric clouds and
their environment in the upper mesosphere. The workshop provides a forum
for presentation and discussion of new ground-based and satellite
measurements of noctilucent/polar mesospheric clouds and their coupled
dynamical, thermal, chemical, and plasma environment. The workshop
brings together experts from around the world, engaged in research on
noctilucent clouds (NLC), Polar Mesospheric Clouds (PMC) and Polar
Mesospheric Summertime Echoes (PMSE). LPMR-8 is a forum for the
presentation of the results of recent research on mesospheric clouds and
their environment and to promote discussion of the current state of
knowledge and future directions for international, inter-disciplinary
cooperation in the fields.
The workshop is sponsored by the GI and its parent organization, the
International Commission on the Middle Atmosphere. The timing of the
workshop coincides with the launch of the NASA Aeronomy of Ice in the
Mesosphere (AIM) satellite, the International Polar Year, and the
deployment of the NSF Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR).
