WHI BEGINS!!
WHI Targeting Calendar online: A google-based calendar system has been implemented to provide updates on our observing targets.
COST 296 Joins WHI! The COST (European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research) 296 activity, "Mitigation of Ionospheric Effects on Radio Systems" will be joining WHI and will be participating in synoptic and targetted observations. Welcome COST 296!

Reminder: Abstracts are due May 5 for the SPD/SPA Session at American Geophysical Union 2008 Joint Assembly, 27-30 May 2008, Fort Lauderdale, Florida: First Results of the Whole Heliosphere Interval
Please go to http://www.agu.org to submit an abstract.
Three new geospace campaigns have been added to the Targeted Observing Plans! Go to the Targeted Observing Plans page to learn more about the campaigns and determine whether your data or model are suited for these efforts.

January 2008

The WHI survey form and email subscriber is up and operational! This will help guide new WHI participants to add new observations and models.
SPD/SPA Session at American Geophysical Union 2008 Joint Assembly, 27-30 May 2008, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
First Results of the Whole Heliosphere Interval
This special session will provide a broad description of the heliosphere at solar minimum by showcasing early results of the WHI campaign. We invite contributions to this session from anyone involved in WHI observations, either targetted or synoptic, or modeling efforts.
Meeting Information
WHI Workshop Date announced! 25 - 29 August, 2008
The WHI Data & Modeling Assessment Workshop will happen 25 - 29 August, 2008 in Boulder, CO. All WHI participants are welcome to attend - more information later!

December 2007

We now have our Targetted Observing Campaign plans on line - please take a look at the campaign details and determine whether you'd like to participate.
The number of WHI participants has surpassed 200 people! Please help us ensure that all of their science efforts have the maximum benefit. As we begin to populate the website participating observers & modelers, please consider whether there are any elements that would be beneficial to add to the campaign.
15 December: WHI Special Session Proposal submitted for the IAU 2009 General Assembly. Thanks to our international organizing committee!
Nifty item: Sun-Earth Day 2008 is happening on the first day of WHI, and Solar Week is that week as well! Auspicious dates :)

November 2007

WHI continues to grow, and we are pleased that CAWSES, ULTIMA, and a number of Antarctic networks are joining! Additionally, a growing number of magnetospheric and ionospheric networks are participating, which is essential to complete the "extended impact."

October 2007

Emails were sent to community mailing lists to inform about WHI and its plans.
WHI website populated, observing plans are beginning to be submitted.
The science team is growing - thank you to everyone who is helping to spread the news!!
