(meteorobs) LEONID MAC WORKSHOP: AUGUST 28-30



LEONID MULTI-INSTRUMENT AIRCRAFT CAMPAIGN

======================================

1. LEONID MAC WORKSHOP: AUGUST 28-30 

You are invited to participate in this year's Leonid MAC Workshop
that will be held at NASA Ames Research Center on August 28-30. 
The abstract deadline is July 10, 2003. Registration is at:
http://leonid.arc.nasadot gov/workshop/

This will be the first occasion for participating researchers and 
other workers in the field to compare notes on the 2002 Leonid
storms. 
As in prior workshops, we expect that many collaborations will
be established and a lot of surprises will emerge while discussing 
the storm prediction models, the satellite impact hazard, the
composition and morphology of comet dust, the physics of meteor
ablation,
the fate of organic matter in the exogenous delivery of prebiotic
molecules, and the effect of meteors on the upper atmosphere. 

This year's meeting will be special, because it is the final meeting
of the Leonid MAC project. Among the highlights, we anticipate the 
first showing of a NASA documentary on the missions. A product of
this workshop will be a series of review papers on the various aspects
of Leonid storm research for a special publication that will intend
to summarize the fruits of this season's Leonid storm research.

The workshop is just prior to the AAS Division of Planetary Science
meeting in nearby Monterey (Sept 1-7) and coincides with the
Exobiology PI meeting at Ames.
