  23. I*Y 2007 – Celebrations of IGY + 50 • IPY - The International Polar Year concentrates its attention on the high latitude zones of Earth. • IHY - The International Heliophysical Year expands the frontier of the IGY to the boundary of the heliosphere with a focus on fundamental processes. • eGY - The Electronic Geophysical Year is a cross-cutting program aimed at the development of optimized and interoperable data and processing systems that can serve the needs of an interdisciplinary research environment.

  24. Value of CAWSES to IPY, IHY & eGY • Progressively develop a set of new international data analysis tools • Valuable asset for space research • Combined with satellite data they give new ways of investigating important science questions • Lasting legacy after I*Y celebrations • Collect & preserve comprehensive sets of international sun-to-Earth observations • Valuable for developing assimilative space weather models • Important for testing understanding and predictive capabilities of sun-to-Earth models • Worldwide resource for sun-Earth system science during and after I*Y • Build up an international community familiar with campaign tools & collaborative analysis ready to participate in the I*Y • Help refine science questions and needs for worldwide campaigns over the next 2 years in preparation for the I*Y celebration.

  25. Planned Meetings in 2006 • Major Event is STP – 11 in Rio de Janeiro, March 6-10, 2006: Marv Geller, organizer • Special CAWSES session at EGU Meeting, Vienna, Austria, April, 2006: F-J Luebken, organizer • Workshop on Ice Layers in the Mesosphere, Spring 2006, F-J Luebken, organizer • COSPAR, Beijing, July 06 ?
