Concept Development for an Upper Atmospheric Research Facility at the Arecibo Magnetic Conjugate Point in Argentina

Workshop Agenda
The purpose of the workshop is to discuss and identified the strategy involved in developing a new international upper atmospheric facility at the Arecibo Geomagnetic Conjugate Point (AGMCP). The points which need to be addressed during the workshop are: 1. Is there a *scientific* need for an ionospheric observatory at the AGMCP. Demonstrating the wealth of scientific opportunities that such a facility would provide is the principal goal of this workshop. 2. There is a feasible technical approach to satisfying the scientific need. The basis is an AMISR 'face', optical instruments, GPS instruments, etc. 3. There is a feasible international collaboration model that could lead a project to develop the facility. It is important that the focus of the workshop is not about what the community has done, but what we would like to do with a conjugate facility and how such facility would extend our presently on-going research. With these goals in mind the proposed agenda is as follow
