JGR Special Issue for the Nov 93 Event Study
--------------------------------------------
From: knippdj at sting.usafa.af.mil (Delores Knipp)

To all participants of the Nov 93 Event Study!

I've been coordinating with Tamas Gombosi regarding the JGR Special Issue 
for the November 1993 event.  Dr Gombosi wishes to print the special 
invitation shown below in the May issue of JGR-Blue in order to get 
maximum participation for the special issue.  Therefore the deadline 
for submission has been extended to 30 June to accomodate the invitation 
(and work around AGU and other meetings).

If you are ready to submit please feel free to do so anytime between 
now and 30 June.  If you are procrastinating, now is the time to write.  
Please send 4 double spaced copies of the manuscript to the JGR-blue office 
and one additional copy to me.  Dr Gombosi prefers to treat special 
issue papers in a manner consistent with normal submissions so my role in 
the special issue will be limited, however I would like to know about 
significant results that may need to be woven into the overview paper 
that I am writing.

Best Regards

Delores Knipp

Special Issue Invitation from Tamas Gombosi follows:
_____________________________________________________
The major geomagnetic storm of early November 1993 was a 
particularly long-lived event associated with the fourth rotational 
occurrence of a large coronal hole.  Storm conditions in the 
magnetosphere and ionosphere persisted for several days after 
passage of the leading edge of the high-speed stream associated 
with the coronal hole.  Storm onset was accompanied by a 
magnetospheric compression to within geosynchronous orbit and an 
extreme disturbance in the ionosphere.  Community interest in this 
storm has produced a wealth of data sets that are being investigated 
in hopes of tracing the flow of energy and particles from the sun, 
through the interplanetary medium and into the dissipative elements 
of the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere.  The data sets 
afford a unique opportunity for observers and modelers to compare 
predictions and analyses.

Hence, I am inviting observational and modeling papers that utilize 
the November 1993 data sets (or related data sets that encompass 
the 2-11 November 1993 interval)  to further the understanding of 
storm dynamics and related phenomena on all scales.  I particularly 
invite papers that synthesize results from multiple data sets.  All 
papers that are received on or before 30 June 97 will be considered for 
publication as a special section of the JGR-Blue
