Report on the Dec. 5, 1993 GEM Mini-Workshops
---------------------------------------------

GEM WORKING GROUP 1:  RECONNECTION ELECTRIC FIELD AND MAGNETOPAUSE BOUNDARY 
		      NORMAL MAGNETIC FIELD
               L. Lyons and O. de la Beaujardiere (Co-chairs)

Attention focused on results from GEM campaign periods.  Considerable progress
has been made with convection and boundary data from the Jan. 27-29, 1992
campaign, as discussed by Lu, Papitashvili, Lyons, and Baker.  In addition,
results on plasma convection associated with IMF By fluctuations on Aug. 2-3,
1991 were discussed by Clauer.  Data from an Eiscat/DMSP conjunction on March
29, 1992 were discussed by Denig, and low-latitude boundary layer disturbances
near 1400 MLT on this day were considered by de la Beaujardiere.  AMIE and TIGCM
results for March 29 have also been obtained by Lu.  The important problem of
identifying the magnetic separatrix on the dayside from ground-based radar data
was addressed by Baker and de la Beaujardiere. 

Campaigns  planned for 1994 are:

Jan. 11, 09 UT to Jan. 14, 20 UT
July 5, 09 UT to July 6, 20 UT
Dec. 6, 09 UT, to Dec. 7, 20 UT
