SNOWMASS 97 
BOUNDARY LAYER CAMPAIGN WG 1:  RECONNECTION ELECTRIC FIELD
AND MAGNETOPAUSE BOUNDARY NORMAL MAGNETIC FIELD
----------------------------------------------------------
From: larry at atmos.ucla.edu Wed May  7 11:47:20 1997

We will have one 2-hr session this summer for ongoing
work. 

Most of the work on dayside-substorms associations is
being moved to the Tail/Substorm WG-1 sessions.


There will be an additional session on the "Grand
Challenge" results that is being organized by Terry Onsager

Program for Session on Ongoing Work


****CURRENTLY PLANNED FOR 10 am-12 NOON ON WED, 18 JUNE****


1.  BAKER:  Determination of the dayside reconnection rate
using SuperDARN measurements (22 Aug. 1995, 21-22 Nov. 1995, 5-7 Dec.
1995, and/or possible new periods)

2.  MORETTO/RIDLEY:  Dayside high-latitude magnetometer
response within 1 minute to sudden impulse event (solar wind density up
by factor of 2.5) on 22 Aug. 1995.


3.  RIDLEY:  Ionospheric convection changes in response to
reorientations of the IMF.

4.  BLANCHARD:  Dayside separatrix identification with
incoherent scatter radars.


5.  LU:  Global convection response to 18-19 October magnetic cloud

6.  SMITH:  Dayside-nightside optical comparisons during
substorms (12 Jan. 1994 plus other dates).
