The final ARISE2 workshop was hosted by BGR in Hamburg from 14 to 17 May 2018. The event attracted 43 registered attendees. During the first days of the workshop, scientific presentations highlighted ARISE2 and related research, services and impacts in relation to ARISE2. The workshop was followed by a General Assembly meeting. WP presentations were given by WP leaders along with a demonstration of the ARISE2 portal. The final morning was focused on the ARISE strategy.

Geophysical Research Infrastructures Forum Reunion Island 2-6 October 2017

During the first day, scientific presentations highlighted ARISE2 and related research, services and impacts in relation to ARISE2.The day was concluded with a demonstration of the ARISE portal and management presentations.
The second day was dedicated to presentations for the press, the general public and non-specialist students. It was concluded with a ARISE splinter session about WP risks, needed reorientations and the value of collocated infrasound and lidar instruments.
The third day was dedicated to a session about strategy and opportunities for collaboration with Reunion Island. The opportunities offered by some relevant calls for proposal were discussed. It was concluded by a ARISE2 strategy session.
Results presented cover areas as diverse as atmospheric dynamics, prototype development and data portal demonstration, procedures for future data assimilation in weather and climate models and the use of ARISE data for civil applications such as remote volcano monitoring.

During the first two days, scientific presentations highlighted research, services and impacts in relation to ARISE2. The third day focused on the strategy for the next steps of the ARISE infrastructure, reporting, and Advisory Board feedback. The fourth day summarised work package progress, work plans, and risk analysis. Finally, the fifth morning was dedicated to thematic working sessions.

Organized by CEA, the kick-off meeting of ARISE2 attracted about 46 participants. It was held at Collioure, a lovely coastal town in south of France, 20 kilometers from Spain, on 5-9 Oct 2015.

Topics addressed during the meeting:

The final ARISE meeting was organized by the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt) and took place at Grainau (Germany) located near the mountain Zugspitze and the city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. DLR organized an exiting visit at the Earth Observation Center (2650 m) located on the mountain Zugspitze and presented there innovative technologies in the context of atmospheric and climate research.

The workshop covered the main themes of the ARISE program. Participants from all ARISE1 institutes attended the meeting. Among the invited scientists, Chaim Garfinkel (Univ. Baltimore, USA) presented the effect of tropospheric jet latitude on the coupling between the stratospheric polar vortex and the troposphere; Douglas Drob (US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, USA) presented studies on the monitoring of high-altitude winds using infrasound and on the use of global circulation models to quantify the coupling between the lower, middle, upper atmosphere, and ionosphere, Geir Braathen presented stratospheric observations in WMO's Global Atmosphere Watch Programme (GAW), in the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN) and in the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC).

The 2nd ARISE meeting was organized by the University of Florence, Italy and took place at Villa La Quiete, in the neighbourhood of Florence.

The workshop covered the main themes of the ARISE program:

The ARISE training school was held at Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP), France from 3-5 June 2013.

The goal of the training School was to provide information to scientists interested in the large potential of the new ARISE infrastructure, as well as train new teams interested in the installation of stations in their countries.

73 participants from the global scientist community attended to the training School: lectures as well as hands-on exercises and visits to instrument sites were organized in enthusiastic atmosphere. There were daily poster sessions mixed with the oral sessions and best posters were awarded during the gala dinner.

The first ARISE Workshop was held at the University of Reading near London, UK.

The workshop explored several themes:

The workshop had a mixed format with invited and submitted oral presentations, submitted poster presentations and significant amounts of time set aside for discussion in small break-out groups.

The ARISE Kickoff Meeting was held at the Vaux de Cernay Abbaye near southern Paris in France, on 9-11 Jan 2012.

The aims of this meeting was:
