CALL FOR DATA: LWS CDAW on Geomagnetic Storms, George Mason University,
Fairfax, VA, Mar. 14-16, 2005

Second Announcement: Data Request and Registration 

The Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop (CDAW) is to bring together
scientists of Living With a 
Star (LWS) disciplines to interact and establish long-term
collaborations that can effectively 
address questions related to CMEs, ICMEs, and their connections to
geomagnetic and ionospheric 
storms. The focal point of the CDAW will be the set of all geomagnetic
storms of cycle 23.

We invite participants who can contribute data (including original data,
data products, 
event catalogs, models and analysis tools) to achieve the scientific
goals of the CDAW. 
This involves assembling and pre-processing the data sets well ahead of
the CDAW and a lot 
of effort has to go in much before the workshop. 

During the CDAW, 12 LINUX workstations installed with IDL and Solarsoft will be 
available. Wireless and fixed-line INTERNET access for all participants, so 
participants can also use their laptops.

Please contact Dr. Jie Zhang (jiez@scs.gmu.edu) for contributing data
and setting up data in the main server.

A limited amount of travel money will be available.  Please contact Dr.
Nat Gopalswamy (gopals@fugee.gsfc.nasa.gov) as soon as possible for further
information.

The meeting website is  "http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/geomag_cdaw/".  Since we are 
planning to have a limited number of participants, interested  persons should 
make on-line registration as soon as possible. Hotel information and directions 
to the CDAW site can also be found on this page. 

Note that the meeting dates have changed to March 14-16, 2005.
