Description: Accurate and reliable timekeeping lies at the heart of modern science, technology, and infrastructure. In the domain of radio science, timekeeping and frequency control is needed for ionospheric studies, remote sensing, navigation, communication, and space exploration. This one-day tutorial will provide young students, experts and participants from various URSI Commissions with an integrated understanding of time and frequency concepts, atomic frequency standards, time dissemination methods, and international time synchronization practices based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Date: Sunday, 16th Aug , 9.00 am - 2.40 pm

Title : Scaling and Interpreting Modern Ionograms
Conveners:
Tobias Verhulst
Ivan Galkin
David Themens
Austin Egbert
Description: This is a practical course in scaling ionograms for both students and young scientists, as well as more established researchers who would like to gain experience in scaling, analyzing and interpreting ionograms from modern systems. The course will require students to have a laptop available with free scaling software installed prior to the class. Instructions for obtaining the software will be provided in advance.
