ICAE Spring 2001 News LetterCONFERENCES* * *ICOLSE 2001The 2001 International Conference on Lightning and Static Electricity (ICOLSE) will take place September 11-13, 2001, in Seattle, Washington, as part of the Aerospace Congress and Exhibition (ACE). For more information visit http://www.sae.org/calendar/ico/cfp.htm. IAGA 2001The International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy Conference will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, August 19-31, 2001. Two sessions of special interest to Newsletter readers are planned, one treating sprites and other middle atmosphere electrical phenomena (Dave Sentman and H. Fukunishi, Co-Convenors) and one concerned with giant positive discharges (Earle Williams and Martin Fullekrug, Co-Convenors). The abstract deadline was February 1, 2001. Invited talks are also planned. Excellent opportunities here for direct interaction with tropical thunderstorms in Southeast Asia! Web site: www.ngdc.noaa.gov/IAGA/ Two Special Sessions are of interest for our community: GAII 1: Transient Effects of Lightning on the Middle and Upper Atmosphere: Sprites and Other Effects.

The AGU Committee on Atmospheric and Space Electricity (CASE) is soliciting proposals for special sessions for this meeting. Special session proposals are due to Vlad Rakov, 2001 Fall AGU program committee member from CASE, before May 25, 2001. Proposals should include a special session title, descriptive paragraph about the proposed session, convener name(s), and convener contact information. As of today, two special sessions have been proposed: Electrical effects of thunderstorms on the middle and upper atmosphere (co-conveners D. Sentman and V. Pasko). Lightning and storm electrification (co-conveners V. Rakov and D. MacGorman). The deadline for receipt of electronic abstracts is September 6, 2001, 1400 UTC.
