This award is to support an International Chapman Conference on Longitude and Hemispheric Dependence of Space Weather. This conference will bring together an international group of heliophysics scientists to plan and discuss current and needed observations at mid and low latitudes in the African longitude sector, a region that has never been explored in detail using ground-based instruments. Strong interaction between scientists from instrument donors and host institutes is crucial in order to have successful instrument deployment and continuous data retrieval process. The conference will focus on at least six main science topics (1) Hemispherical Dependence of Magnetospheric Energy Injection, (2) Longitude and Hemispheric Dependence of Storm-Enhanced Densities (SED), (3) Response to New Time-History of Solar Flares, (4) Quiet-Time Longitude Spatial Structure, (5) Temporal Response to the Lower-Atmosphere Disturbances, and (6) Climatology of TEC/Scintillation in Different Longitude Sectors. For the United States this conference will provide great opportunity for young scientists and graduate students to meet international expertise and earn international experience for their future international collaboration. In Africa, this conference will create opportunities for undergraduate students to enhance their inspiration to space science and perform research activities in the future within their own countries.

该奖项旨在支持国际查普曼空间天气经度和半球依赖性会议。这次会议将汇集一个国际太阳物理学科学家小组，计划和讨论非洲经度区中低纬度地区当前和所需的观测，该地区从未使用地面仪器进行过详细探索。仪器捐赠者和主办机构的科学家之间的密切互动对于仪器的成功部署和持续的数据检索过程至关重要。会议将重点关注至少六个主要科学主题（1）磁层能量注入的半球依赖性，（2）风暴增强密度（SED）的经度和半球依赖性，（3）对太阳耀斑新时史的响应， （4）安静时经度空间结构，（5）对低层大气扰动的时间响应，以及（6）气候学不同经度扇区的 TEC/闪烁。对于美国来说，这次会议将为年轻科学家和研究生提供绝佳的机会，让他们接触国际专业知识，并为未来的国际合作获得国际经验。在非洲，本次会议将为本科生创造机会，增强他们对空间科学的灵感，并在未来在自己的国家开展研究活动。
