*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 15, Number 43 June 16, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modeling and Assimilation JOINT Workshop session #6 at Eldorado Anasazi Contacts: Aaron Ridley and Jan Sojka -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Aaron Ridley Recently, many more data sets in the ionosphere and magnetosphere have become available. For example, the question of continuous month long data sets is becoming the norm rather than the exception. In the magnetosphere, the IMAGE satellite provides synoptic pictures of the plasma distribution. In addition, models of these regions have become much more sophisticated. There is emerging a need to better couple models with data sets. This typically has come in the form of data-model comparisons and validation efforts. Other groups have begun creating data-assimilation models. For this session, we solicit talks on models that utilize data and data providers that would like input on what quantities modelers desire. Talks on data preparation for ingestion/ comparison or forward modeling techniques are also welcome. UAF Steering Committee will jointly participate with the modelers and assimilators for this workshop. Please contact Aaron Ridley (ridley@umich.edu) or Jan Sojka (fasojka@gaim.cass.usu.edu) if you would like to contribute to this session. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |To subscribe GEM Messengers, send an e-mail to | | with the following command in the body of your e-mail message: | | subscribe gem | |To remove yourself from the mailing list, the command is: | | unsubscribe gem | | | |To broadcast a message to the GEM community, please contact Peter Chi at | | | |Please use plain text as the format of your submission. | | | |URL of GEM Home Page: http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/Welcome.html | |Workshop Information: http://gem.rice.edu/~gem | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
