Antarctic Geospace and ATmosphere reseArch (AGATA) is a new SCAR Scientific Research Program. AGATA is a coordinated, worldwide effort to monitor, investigate and better understand the physics of the polar atmosphere and the impact of the Sun-Earth interactions on the polar regions. AGATA will take advantage of existing and planned instrumentation in Antarctica, but also in the Arctic and satellite-based observations, and it will aim for coordinated research efforts and data exchange. This bi-polar perspective will allow the study of significant interhemispheric asymmetries in the atmospheric response observed in the polar regions.
The AGATA kick-off-meeting will be held virtually on the following days/times:
- 26 March, 6-8 UTC (optimal for Asia/Oceania)
- 27 March, 16-18 UTC (optimal for Americas)
- 28 March, 11-13 UTC (optimal for Europe and Africa)
There are three similar sessions via Zoom to accommodate different time zones. You are welcome to join all of them if you can (particular talks will be different), but by joining only one of the sessions you will also receive all necessary information.
For more details see the SCAR AGATA meeting website.
