*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 24, Number 20 June 23, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Solicitation of Participation: Geospace System Science (GSS) 1:30-3:30PM (Pacific Standard time), Monday, June 23, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Naomi Maruyama We would like to invite you to participate in our CEDAR session: Geospace System Science: http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2014_Workshop:Geospace_sys tem_science The overarching objectives of our session is to develop an improved understanding of the geospace system response to storms and substorms. We seek to identify and investigate the underlying coupling processes and interactions between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere- thermosphere (the M-I-T system) at middle and high latitudes. We would like to address the science questions from system level perspective by bringing together a broad range of expertise to our discussions. We intend to coordinate with the GEM community to tackle our challenges from the systems perspectives. In particular, a joint campaign approach has been discussed with the GEM Focus Group: Storm- Time Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Convection (SIMIC). Furthermore, we will initiate coordination discussions with another GEM FG: Geospace Systems Science. Free flowing discussions are a very important part of our workshop. The success of our session will depend on your participation to the workshop and discussions. You can participate our session remotely via "GoToMeeting"! Here is the list of the speakers in our session: Joe Borovsky: new GEM FG: "Geospace Systems Science" Brian Anderson: AMPERE Gang Lu: Ionospheric and Thermospheric Response to the April 2010 Storm - Following the Energy Flow Margaret Chen: Preliminary Results of One-Way Coupling of the RCM-E and TIEGCM models Richard Walterscheid: TIEGCM Runs for 10 August 2000 Storm Shasha Zou: On the characteristics of the Storm Enhanced Density Plumes: origin of the convection flow and field-aligned ion flux Larry Lyons: New results on flow bursts in the SAPS region and their connection to auroral streamers and BBFs Phil Erickson: SAPS and MI coupling. wrap-up discussions Please come to Kane-130 or participate remotely via GoToMeeting!
