GEM Proposals Target Date October 20, 1998
------------------------------------------
From Dick Wolf (wolf at alfven.rice.edu)

The GEM Steering Committee encourages submission of proposals this Fall for
all active GEM campaigns (Tail/Substorm, GGCM, Inner-Magnetosphere/Storms).
The target date for GEM proposals is October 20, 1998.

Proposals in the following two areas are particularly encouraged:

1. Projects relevant to the Inner Magnetosphere and Storms Campaign, which
   is now in full swing. Documents describing campaign goals and strategies
   are posted on the GEM web page (http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/).

2. Projects that make research use of Phase-1 GGCM products. Modeling
   groups are placing results on the web for public use, for standard
   solar-wind conditions that were defined by the GGCM Steering Committee.
   (See GEM MESSENGER, volume 8, number 3, which is available at
   ftp://igpp.ucla.edu/scratch/gem/Messenger1998/Vol.08_No.03.) Several groups
   received GEM support beginning FY 1998 specifically for this effort, and
   other modelers are making their results similarly available without
   explicit GEM support. Consequently, a rich set of magnetospheric model
   results will gradually appear on the web over the course of the next year.
   We urge the wider community to take advantage of the opportunity to make
   scientific use of the archived runs. Updated information about available
   phase-1 model results will be posted on the GEM web page.

Dick Wolf, Chair
GEM Steering Committee
