Second Circular for “Chromo AID 2016”, a meeting that anticipates the
new views of the chromosphere we expect from ALMA and DKIST.

Venue: Boulder, Colorado USA
Dates: March 15-18, 2016

The new ALMA and DKIST facilities will greatly extend our understanding
of the chromosphere, and the enigmatic interface region between the
classical photosphere and the equally classical, but very different,
corona. Together with IRIS, which already is exploring this crucial
interface, these facilities will provide comprehensive high-resolution
observations over many decades in wavelength, from the far-UV to
the sub-mm/mm wavelength range. Hence ALMA-IRIS-DKIST or “AID”.

The immediate goal here will be to prepare for the ALMA Cycle 4
call for proposals, which will be the first for which solar programs
will be accepted. The main structure of this meeting will consist
of invited overview presentations, plus tutorials, arranged in
single sessions. Because space in our venue (NSO Boulder) is
restricted, we recommend early registration.

We anticipate an excellent program, with invited speakers De Pontieu,
Bastian, Rimmele, Wedemeyer, Uitenbroeck, Loukitcheva, Schad,
Shimojo, Reardon, Lagg, Hansteen, Leake, Vissers, Fletcher, Kuhn,
De Wijn, Qiu, Ishikawa, and Penn. The program will be single-session
but there will be room for posters, and we plan one-slide presentations
of same.

Please note that Boulder Solar Day 2016 will take place on Monday,
March 14.
