TEPA-2012 conference
Overview
The Thunderstorms and Elementary Particle Acceleration (TEPA-2012) conference is the second one devoted to the studies of the extreme atmospheric effects connected with amplification of electric fields in the lower atmosphere. The first TEPA conference was organized in 2010 by Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory of Armenia. TEPAтАУ2012 will be hosted by Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia.
Location
The conference will held on тАЬShuvalovskyтАЭ building in room E621 on 6 floor.
Dates
TEPA-2012 conference will be held from July 9 till July 11, 2012, just after the 23rd European Cosmic Ray Symposium also organized by MSU (http://ecrs2012.sinp.msu.ru)
The main goals of the conference
The aims of the TEPA-2012 are the following:
- To organize a large forum for discussing of the recent observations and simulations of the extreme events in the atmosphere using both ground-based and satellites measurements in the different layers of the EarthтАЩs atmosphere;
- To discuss possible directions for the future research and projects, and for international cooperation between scientific groups using different experimental methods and models.
- To develop outreach programs in this field.
