The Korea-Japan-China Mini-Workshop on Space Weather


  Date:  Monday, August 18. 2003, 9:00-17:00 
  Place: Toyokawa Shimin Plaza in Quality Hotel Toyokawa

  Date:  Tuesday, August 19-20. 2003, 9:00-17:00
  Place: STEL 1F seminar room, Toyokawa

We had two Korea-Japan-China workshops on space weather both in Korea and 
Japan in 2002. The purpose of the workshops is to provide a forum to present 
the research progress on space weather between Korea, Japan and China, and 
to enhance the cooperation among all of us in the research field of space 
weather.

The third workshop was originally planned to be held in China in June or 
August, 2003. However, we could not have the Beijing workshop because of 
the SARS aftereffects. It was very regretted. In place of the  Beijing 
workshop, we had a mini-workshop at the Solar-Terrestrial Environment 
Laboratory, Nagoya University in Toyokawa, Japan for August 18-20, 2003. 
In this Toyokawa mini-workshop several topics on space weather projects, 
high energy particles and radiation belts, sun and interplanetary distur
bances, sun-earth connection, solar wind-magnetosphere interaction, 
magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, ionosphere-thermosphere coupling were 
presented and discussed. 

We will have another the Korea-Japan-China Mini-Workshop on Space Weather 
to summarize the subject, "The response of the earth's magnetosphere and 
ionosphere to the variations of the solar windand interplanetary magnetic 
field" under the Joint Research project of The Japan-Korea Basic Scientific 
CooperationProgram, in Korea in September, 2003.
