The fifteenth annual RF Ionospheric Interactions Workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado, beginning on Sunday, April 19, and ending on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. The focus of the workshop is on the interaction of high-power RF waves from ground-based transmitters with the ionospheric plasma and resultant phenomena such as the generation of ELF waves, ionospheric irregularities, and artificial aurora. The workshop features invited presentations on recent theoretical and experimental advances. There also will be presentations on current capabilities of high-power RF ionospheric interaction facilities (Arecibo, HAARP, HIPAS, SURA and others). The workshop provides an opportunity to define and coordinate research campaigns at these facilities. The workshop begins on Sunday with a student tutorial session titled "Optics and Heating." Submission of poster papers is encouraged for a session scheduled on Monday.
