G12: Open Session and Latest Results 2 (G)

Friday, August 22  16:00-17:40,  Room #14

This session welcomes all papers related to the Commission G terms of reference, particularly those not covered by the other G and G/x sessions. The session also welcomes the latest and perhaps more controversial results. Topics may include papers on the radio science of scattering, on the global morphology, theory, modeling and modification of the ionosphere, on the development of tools and networks to measure ionospheric parameters and trends, on the theory and practice of ionospheric radio propagation, and on the application of ionospheric knowledge to radio systems.
