ACTION ITEMS relevant to IHY/CIP3 "Universality of Auroral Structure:
Meeting: European Planetary Science Congress (Europlanet) Workshop: MA6 Comparative Auroras Conveners: Marina Galand and Renée Prangé Auroral emissions are a unique and valuable probe of plasma interaction, magnetospheric processes, atmospheric composition, dynamics, and energetics. We encourage the submission of contributed presentations discussing cross-body, multi-spectral, as well as multi-scale comparison of auroras and auroral processes. Such approaches are constructive and critical for deepening our understanding of solar wind-(magnetosphere)-ionosphere coupling encountered in the Solar System. The session will consist of contributed posters followed by a workshop with invited presentations and directed discussions with all contributors and participants on the current need and future plans for the field. The session is in support of the scientific activities of the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) through the Coordinated Investigation Programme 3 [http://www.ihy.rl.ac.uk/CIP_list.shtm].
