An RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting organised by *Mark Lester (Leicester),Mervyn Freeman (NERC BAS), Jim Wild (Lancaster)*Contact: Mark Lester mle@leicester.ac.uk The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has proven highly successful in the study of solar wind/magnetosphere coupling, magnetospheric dynamics and processes, the ionosphere, space weather, and investigations of the upper mesosphere, lower thermosphere and general atmospheric processes such as gravity waves, tides, and the geoelectric circuit. This Discussion meeting will reflect on the current science goals and activities of SuperDARN as well as present new opportunities for future research. These include the study of the polar cap regions, mid-latitude and geomagnetic storm effects, as well as coupling between the atmospheric layers. Discussion of collaborations with other ground and space based instruments and facilities is encouraged. 10.30 Kathryn McWilliams (University of Saskatchewan)
