Introduction

Equatorial ionospheric challenges and the C/NOFS mission

This workshop will address the challenges in forecasting the equatorial ionosphere and irregularities within. The discussions will be related but not limited to the C/NOFS (Communication and Navigation Outage Forecast System) mission.

C/NOFS is a satellite mission dedicated to forecasting ionospheric densities, irregularities and scintillation. It will be launched in 2005, in a 13 degrees inclination, 710 x 375 km orbit. Its instruments will provide plasma parameters, electric & magnetic fields (AC and DC), density fluctuations, and neutral wind. It will also have a GPS receiver, and an RF beacon. Ground-based instruments and models, and space weather products are an integral part of the mission.

The purpose of this workshop is to:

• Address the main difficulties in forecasting the equatorial ionospheric behaviors
• Define collaborative projects that involve ground and space measurements
• Report on CNOFS validation plans and accomplishments
