*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 6, Number 57 November 11, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS FOR IAGA SESSION 3.06: ULF WAVES AS DIAGNOSTICS OF MAGNETOSPHERIC PROCESSES ------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Howard J. Singer IAGA Session 3.06 ULF Waves As Diagnostics Of Magnetospheric Processes August 8, 1996, Friday, AM and PM ULF waves convey information about the dynamics and morphology of the magnetosphere and its coupling to the solar wind and ionosphere. This session will focus on the use of these waves as a diagnostic probe of magnetospheric systems. There remains great potential for ULF wave observations to advance our understanding of processes such as solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, substorm physics, and remote sensing of magnetospheric structures. We anticipate that during the next few years novel observations of ULF phenomena, from both ground and space, will provide new insight into global and micro-scale magnetospheric processes. Contributions of wave studies investigating planetary magnetospheres and studies involving waves observed in parameters other than the magnetic field are encouraged. This symposium will consist of two half-day sessions comprised of invited oral presentations (25 min); a limited number of contributed oral presentations (15 minutes), a poster session , and an invited preview of the poster session. ABSTRACT DEADLINE is February 28, 1997. Abstracts should follow IAGA rules and should be submitted for invited as well as for contributed papers. The abstracts can be submitted either electronically via WWW (http://www.irfu.se/iaga_97.html) or by mail, using the form to be distributed later in November. The Lead Convenor should also be sent copies of abstracts. Lead Convenor: Howard J. Singer, NOAA R/E/SE, 325 Broadway, Boulder CO, 80303-3328, USA.
