------------------------------------------- GGCM Workshop (WG 5) Agenda for Snowmass'95 ------------------------------------------- From: G. Siscoe (siscoe@bu-ast.bu.edu) Greetings from Working Group 5 The following is the WG's agenda for its Wednesday Snowmass workshop. The themes this summer are storms, radiation belts, evolving the capabilities of a modularized GGCM, and substorms as GGCM entities. The time Wednesday will be devoted to four tasks: 1. establishing GEM's participation in an inter-project, inter-agency magnetic storm study; 2. establishing a GEM program that identifies and addresses scientific issues pertaining to radiation belts; 3. continuing the effort to increase the capabilities of a prototype modularized GGCM--as represented by the RCM--and its couplings to the solar wind and the tail; and 4. continuing the effort to treat the substorm as an element in a GGCM. The storm-radiation belt activity is new. It is the subject of subworking group 2. The WG is fortunate indeed that Mary Hudson has agreed to lead this group. She has organized an interesting program, including two tutorials, to initiate GEM activities on these topics. Mary takes over leadership of subgroup 2 from Bill Lotko who led the group during the boundary-layer phase of GEM activities. WG 5 is very much indebted to Bill for carrying out this task on its behalf while he also took care of other more pressing GEM duties. Subworking groups 1 and 3 leaders, Dick Wolf and Michael Hesse, have organized sessions aimed at moving the GGCM assembly project forward quickly by expanding the connectedness of the inner RCM module to the solar wind, ionosphere, and tail and by identifying and treating the substorm as a special problem in GGCM assembly. This is a workshop open to all interested GEM participants. The agenda gives much time for discussions and interactions. Everyone is encouraged to attend and join in.
