18th EISCAT_3D User Meeting 2024

    The 18th E3D User Meeting (UM) took place on December 3-4 (week 49)., from lunch to lunch. The UM was hybrid, i.e. physical attendance is at EISCAT/IRF Rymdcampus in Kiruna, and online participation via Zoom.

We had the traditional scheme with short presentations followed by questions and discussion. Submissions of titles/short abstracts were welcome. The web pages of previous meetings, 17th E3D UM and 16th E3D UM and earlier, can give an impression for the arrangements and programme which include in some cases links to the presentation slides.

This postscrript to the UM was last updated on December 9, 2024.

Registration


In total 56 people had registered.

The names and email addresses of registered persons were used to provide the Zoom link and other updates about the meeting by email. They will be stored as long as E3D User meetings are regularly held, to inform about future meetings, unless specific removals are requested.

Programme


The Programme included

  * Update on EISCAT as an organisation
  * EISCAT_3D Update and Plans
  * IS Analysis and EISCAT_3D
  * EISCAT_3D related Science

Contributions on any E3D related subject could be submitted. Especially encouraged were discussions of first experiments, their data organization, profiles vs voxels, E3D Common Programmes, Analysis and Visualization.
