With the recent launch of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites, there is already a wealth of new data on kinetic scale physics. Scene setting talks to frame relevant questions and generate discussion will include particle acceleration in dayside reconnection (Allison Jaynes, CU-Boulder) and how global/non-local physics impacts kinetic reconnection physics (John Dorelli, NASA-GSFC), both of which will include discussion of MMS data. Other speakers on dayside reconnection are (in no particular order) Joo Hwang, Sun Hee Lee, Richard Denton, Jan Egedal, Rishi Mistry, Kris Maynard, and Cong Zhao. In addition, we will have a discussion of magnetotail stability, with a scene setting talk on recent progress (Slava Merkin, JHU-APL). Other speakers on magnetotail reconnection are (in no particular order) Yongliang Zhang, Stefan Kiehas, Haoming Liang, Misha Sitnov, Andrei Runov, Joachim Birn, Phil Pritchett, and Tony Lui.<br /> <br /> ==== [FG] (Joint) Storm-time Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Convection + Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions ====<br /> <br /> Location: SFCC O'Keefe/Milagro/Kearny<br /> <br /> *Topic: Impact of large-scale or transient electric fields on inner magnetosphere populations, and the role of particle precipitation of magnetospheric origin on the ionospheric electrodynamics<br /> * Chairs: Stanislav Sazykin, Yiqun Yu<br /> #Richard Selesnick: Control of the inner electron radiation belt by large-scale electric fields<br /> #Sam Califf: Van Allen Probes observations of subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) electric fields<br /> #Scott Thaller: Van Allen Probes investing of the night/dusk asymmetries of the plasmapause and dawn-dusk electric field, a synoptic study<br /> #Joe Huba : Storm-time electrodynamics of the ionosphere/plasmasphere system using SAMI3/RCM<br /> #Carlos Martinis: Coincident observations of all-sky images and Van Allen Probes<br /> #Raluca Ilie: TBD<br /> #Yiqun Yu: A new ionospheric precipitation module coupled with RAM-SCB in geospace general circulation model<br /> <br /> ==== [GEM-CEDAR] [http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2016_Workshop:GEM_CEDAR_Modeling_Challenge GEM-CEDAR Modeling Challenge] ====<br /> <br /> Location: SFCC Sweeney B<br /> <br /> ==== [GEM-CEDAR] [http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2016_Workshop:Particle_Precipitation Particle Precipitation and the Effects on Earth's Atmosphere] ====<br /> <br /> Location: SFCC Coronado/DeVargas<br /> <br /> ==== [GEM-CEDAR] [http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2016_Workshop:Data_Integration_in_Geospace Data Integration in Geospace] ====<br /> <br /> Location: Eldorado, Zia<br /> <br /> ==== [GEM-CEDAR] [http://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/index.php/2016_Workshop:High_Latitude_Geospace_System Grand Challenge: The High-Latitude Geospace System] ====<br /> <br /> <br /> Location: SFCC Sweeney E/F<br /> <br /> === 1600-1800: Splinter Sessions ===<br /> <br /> ==== [FG] M3-I2: Merged Modeling &amp; Measurement of Injection Ionospheric Plasma into the Magnetosphere and Its Effects ====<br /> <br /> Location: SFCC Sweeney A<br /> <br /> *MONDAY PM2 16:00-18:00 SFCC SWEENEY A (GEM-CEDAR JOINT SESSION)<br /> *Topic: Polar Wind Models and the Ionospheric Boundary Definition<br /> *Chair: Shasha Zou Scribe: Barbara Giles<br /> #Roger Varney (Invited) - Ion Energization in Polar Wind Models<br /> #George Khazanov (Invited) - Polar Wind M-I-T Coupling: Kinetic Versus Hydrodynamic<br /> *Short contributed presentations with discussion <br /> #Shunrong Zhang - ISR Campaigns<br /> #Doug Roland - Vision Sounding Rocket<br /> #Bruce Fritz - Renu Sounding Rocket<br /> #Bill Peterson - ePoP<br /> *Open Floor Discussion (bring a slide)<br /> #Questions &amp; methodology on ionospheric boundary layer and ion energization.<br /> #F-region/topside ionosphere processes as lower boundary<br /> #Polar wind<br /> #Model-measurement comparisons<br /> <br /> ==== [FG] (Joint) Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere + Testing Proposed Links between Mesoscale Auroral and Polar Cap Dynamics and Substorms ====<br /> <br /> Location: SFCC Sweeney C<br /> <br /> The joint session will focus on the signatures and consequences of magnetic reconnection within the magnetosphere and ionosphere.

With the recent launch of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites, there is already a wealth of new data on kinetic scale physics. Scene setting talks to frame relevant questions and generate discussion will include particle acceleration in dayside reconnection (Allison Jaynes, CU-Boulder) and how global/non-local physics impacts kinetic reconnection physics (John Dorelli, NASA-GSFC), both of which will include discussion of MMS data. Other speakers on dayside reconnection are (in no particular order) Joo Hwang, Sun Hee Lee, Richard Denton, Jan Egedal, Rishi Mistry, Kris Maynard, and Cong Zhao. In addition, we will have a discussion of magnetotail stability, with a scene setting talk on recent progress (Slava Merkin, JHU-APL).

<p>Toffo: /* 2015 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions */</p> <hr /> <div>==Tail-inner magnetosphere interactions (TIMI)==<br /> ===Executive Summary===<br /> The overarching science goal of this NSF/GEM Focus Group is to Understand modes of transport and acceleration that are responsible for the efficient plasma heating within the magnetotail and the inner magnetosphere.<br /> Understanding the physical mechanisms behind the transport and acceleration of plasma in to the inner magnetosphere is one of the missing links in our ability to predict near-Earth space weather. Recent observations and theoretical work have cast doubt on the idea that a global, laminar process can be responsible for the formation of the ring current from tail plasma. Thus, a picture is evolving in which meso-scale processes are the conduits for the energization of the inner magnetosphere. Flow channels, bursty bulk flows (BBFs), “bubbles” and associated dipolarization fronts (DFs) have emerged as potentially a key player in setting up the enhanced pressure in the inner magnetosphere that directly impacts its entire structure and dynamics. However, other meso scale processes, such as alternate types of tail turbulence, may also contribute. Recent observations and modeling have raised the controversial question whether a single phenomenon is responsible for inner magnetosphere energization, irrespective of activity level.<br /> This 4-year focus group will bring together data and modeling efforts to determine whether meso-scale processes are responsible for ring current energization, what those processes are, and how they can be fit into a comprehensive GGCM. It represents a new and timely topic propelled by the emerging model capabilities to couple MHD and kinetic physics as required. The growing and future data sets of THEMIS and RBSP will be critical to investigate the role and impact of these phenomena during strong convection, large substorms, quiet times. Whereas past FGs have dealt with the self-consistent treatment of the inner magnetosphere and the transport within the tail, this proposed FG focuses on a gap, not directly addressed by past FGs, that deals with the challenging interface region between the tail and the inner magnetosphere by specifically studying the formation, evolution and physics of the fast flows/BBFs/bubbles and their impact on the inner magnetosphere. <br /> <br /> The TIMI Focus Group includes the following science questions and topics:<br /> # What meso-scale phenomena are responsible for plasma transport and heating from the tail to the inner magnetosphere?<br /> # What is the physics of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles?<br /> # What is the role of ionospheric conductivity (including meso-scale structure resulting from precipitation enhancements) and flows in the formation and evolution of bubbles and other meso-scale structure s?<br /> # Theory and Modeling of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles.<br /> # How does the transport and acceleration at Saturn, Jupiter and in the solar corona compare to that of the terrestrial magnetosphere?<br /> # Examine and apply the concept of entropy as an organizing principle to understand physical processes in the magnetosphere.<br /> ---------------<br /> ===2015 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions===<br /> The GEM focus group on Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions (TIMI) will hold its breakout sessions on June 16-19, 2015. There will be 4 TIMI-related focus group breakouts:<br /> <br /> '''1. Tuesday, June 16, 1:30-3:00 – Joint session Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions and Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere.''' <br /> [From the “Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere” announcement]. This session will focus on reconnection in the magnetotail and its effects on the inner magnetosphere. In particular, a topic that has generated a lot of interest of late are the kinetic processes associated with energy conversion and the formation and consequences of dipolarization fronts. We also encourage discussion on reconnection onset in the magnetotail - tearing vs. ballooning/interchange. Other relevant topics are welcome.<br /> <br /> '''2.

<p>Toffo: </p> <hr /> <div>==Tail-inner magnetosphere interactions (TIMI)==<br /> ===Executive Summary===<br /> The overarching science goal of this NSF/GEM Focus Group is to Understand modes of transport and acceleration that are responsible for the efficient plasma heating within the magnetotail and the inner magnetosphere.<br /> Understanding the physical mechanisms behind the transport and acceleration of plasma in to the inner magnetosphere is one of the missing links in our ability to predict near-Earth space weather. Recent observations and theoretical work have cast doubt on the idea that a global, laminar process can be responsible for the formation of the ring current from tail plasma. Thus, a picture is evolving in which meso-scale processes are the conduits for the energization of the inner magnetosphere. Flow channels, bursty bulk flows (BBFs), “bubbles” and associated dipolarization fronts (DFs) have emerged as potentially a key player in setting up the enhanced pressure in the inner magnetosphere that directly impacts its entire structure and dynamics. However, other meso scale processes, such as alternate types of tail turbulence, may also contribute. Recent observations and modeling have raised the controversial question whether a single phenomenon is responsible for inner magnetosphere energization, irrespective of activity level.<br /> This 4-year focus group will bring together data and modeling efforts to determine whether meso-scale processes are responsible for ring current energization, what those processes are, and how they can be fit into a comprehensive GGCM. It represents a new and timely topic propelled by the emerging model capabilities to couple MHD and kinetic physics as required. The growing and future data sets of THEMIS and RBSP will be critical to investigate the role and impact of these phenomena during strong convection, large substorms, quiet times. Whereas past FGs have dealt with the self-consistent treatment of the inner magnetosphere and the transport within the tail, this proposed FG focuses on a gap, not directly addressed by past FGs, that deals with the challenging interface region between the tail and the inner magnetosphere by specifically studying the formation, evolution and physics of the fast flows/BBFs/bubbles and their impact on the inner magnetosphere. <br /> <br /> The TIMI Focus Group includes the following science questions and topics:<br /> # What meso-scale phenomena are responsible for plasma transport and heating from the tail to the inner magnetosphere?<br /> # What is the physics of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles?<br /> # What is the role of ionospheric conductivity (including meso-scale structure resulting from precipitation enhancements) and flows in the formation and evolution of bubbles and other meso-scale structure s?<br /> # Theory and Modeling of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles.<br /> # How does the transport and acceleration at Saturn, Jupiter and in the solar corona compare to that of the terrestrial magnetosphere?<br /> # Examine and apply the concept of entropy as an organizing principle to understand physical processes in the magnetosphere.<br /> ---------------<br /> ===2015 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions===<br /> The GEM focus group on Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions (TIMI) will hold its breakout sessions on June 16-19, 2015. There will be 4 TIMI-related focus group breakouts:<br /> <br /> # Tuesday, June 16, 1:30-3:00 – Joint session Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions and Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere. <br /> [From the “Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere” announcement]. This session will focus on reconnection in the magnetotail and its effects on the inner magnetosphere. In particular, a topic that has generated a lot of interest of late are the kinetic processes associated with energy conversion and the formation and consequences of dipolarization fronts. We also encourage discussion on reconnection onset in the magnetotail - tearing vs. ballooning/interchange. Other relevant topics are welcome.<br /> <br /> # Thursday, June 18: 10:30 – 12:15 – Joint session Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions and Storm-Time Inner Magnetosphere- Ionosphere Convection. <br /> Details TBA<br /> <br /> # Thursday, June 18: 1:30 – 3:00 PM – Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions: <br /> General session, Topics: The impact of bubbles on the inner magnetosphere, ring current buildup, particle energization and injections, effects in the ionosphere, the production and impact of waves.<br /> <br /> # Thursday, June 18: 3:30 – 5:00 PM – Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions: General session, overflow, as needed, and general discussion and plans for the upcoming and final year of this focus group.<br /> <br /> We kindly ask presentations to be limited to 2-3 slides/5 minutes (no AGU style talks please). <br /> If you would like to be put on the schedule, please contact Frank Toffoletto (toffo @ rice dot edu). <br /> We look forward to seeing everyone at GEM and to your contributions.<br /> Frank Toffoletto, John Lyon, Pontus Brandt, and Vassilis Angelopoulos<br /> More information on the TIMI focus group can be found at: http://gem.epss.ucla.edu/mediawikiwiki/index.php/GEM_Focus_Groups<br /> ---------------<br /> <br /> ===2014 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions===<br /> The GEM focus group on Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions will hold its breakout sessions on Tuesday June 17, 2014.

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> Session 2: coupling of ring current plasma with fields (10min/talk)<br /> <br /> * Colby Lemon - Introduction of Session 2<br /> * Raluca Ilie - Self-consistent coupling of HEIDI and MHD fields<br /> * Cristian P.

The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events.

Antarctica is an important<br /> platform for some areas of Space Weather related research. Our purpose<br /> is to engage the Space Physics community to determine the most<br /> important research questions that are ripe for major advances in<br /> understanding that require or utilize Antarctic infrastructure that<br /> could feasibly be achieved in the coming decade. The reason for this<br /> is NSF Polar Programs has asked for guidance in setting priority for<br /> funding Antarctic Research due to constrained budgets. We are<br /> specifically also looking to determine technological, infrastructure<br /> or data sharing developments that can enable the proposed high<br /> priority research, opportunities in international cooperation that<br /> might help advance high priority research or other innovative<br /> arrangements.

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> Session 2: coupling of ring current plasma with fields (10min/talk)<br /> <br /> * Colby Lemon - Introduction of Session 2<br /> * Raluca Ilie - Self-consistent coupling of HEIDI and MHD fields<br /> * Cristian P.

The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events.

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> Session 2: coupling of ring current plasma with fields (10min/talk)<br /> <br /> * Colby Lemon - Introduction of Session 2<br /> * Raluca Ilie - Self-consistent coupling of HEIDI and MHD fields<br /> * Cristian P.

The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events.

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> Session 2: coupling of ring current plasma with fields (10min/talk)<br /> <br /> * Colby Lemon - Introduction of Session 2<br /> * Raluca Ilie - Self-consistent coupling of HEIDI and MHD fields<br /> * Cristian P.

The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events.

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> <br /> == Friday, June 20, 2014 ==<br /> <br /> === 0815-1000 AM: Planery Session (Ports Ballroom IV-V) ===<br /> <br /> * '''Tail tutorial''' by ''Mike Wiltberger'' -- Determination of the global conductance pattern and its influence on the dynamics of the geospace<br /> * '''Student-selected tutorial''' by ''Robyn Millan'' -- Radiation belts: Lost and found in Antarctica<br /> <br /> === 1030 AM-1215 PM: Splinter Sessions ===<br /> <br /> ==== [Dayside] The Magnetosheath (Ports Ballroom I-III) ====<br /> <br /> ==== [GGCM] Metrics and Validation (Ports Ballroom VI-VIII) ====<br /> <br /> Validating Models Under Extreme Geomagnetic Conditions. <br /> <br /> Extreme events in the geospace environment are among the most interesting scientifically as well as important for their space weather consequences. The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events. Contributions to these and related issues are welcome.<br /> <br /> Draft Agenda:<br /> <br /> (8-10 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Howard Singer – Chair and Introduction <br /> <br /> * Jimmy Raeder: Modeling Extreme Events with OPENGGCM <br /> <br /> * Mike Wiltberger: Modleing Extreme Events with LFM/CMIT<br /> <br /> * Dan Welling: Modeling Extreme Events with the SWMF <br /> <br /> * Dan Welling and Vania Jordanova: Validating RAM-SCB under Extreme Conditions<br /> <br /> * Bob Weigel and Brian Curtis: Global comparison of OpenGGCM, BATSRUS, and SWMF predictions under high and low solar wind pressure conditions (artificial inputs)<br /> <br /> * Yuri Shprits: Unusual Behavior of Radiation Belts During Extreme Events<br /> <br /> * Chigomezyo Ngwira: Modeling extreme `Carrington-type' space weather events using three-dimensional global MHD simulations”<br /> <br /> * Alex Glocer and Mei-Ching Fok: Testing Magnetosphere Radiation Belt and Ring Current models under Extreme Conditions <br /> <br /> * Discussion, including suggestions for a Modeling Challenge for Extreme Conditions<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> <br /> === 1330-1500 PM: Plenary Wrap-up Session (Ports Ballroom IV-V) ===</div>

Specifically solicited are strategies to accommodate uncertainty in modeled physical processes (e.g. uncertain radiation belt diffusion coefficients), uncertainty in boundary conditions (e.g. upstream solar wind), or the validation of models at their boundaries (such as ground-based magnetometers). <br /> <br /> We will introduce a challenge based on previously run magnetopause standoff simulations that compared model results to magnetopause crossings of geo-synchronous satellites. The few crossings observed during strong events revealed significant discrepancies between the major magnetospheric MHD models. We plan to revisit the challenge on the basis of selected events with steady and changing solar wind conditions and observations near the nose of the magnetosphere. The role of boundary conditions applied at the inner boundary (e.g., ionospheric conductance and convection, plasma density and temperature, magnetic field) can be tested. Some of the questions that can be addressed are: <br /> <br /> * Which model is better suited to predict magnetopause position near the nose of the magnetosphere under typical conditions/storm time conditions?<br /> * What model assumptions affect the model predictions significantly and lead to differences between models?<br /> * How does the magnetopause change during extreme events<br /> * How sensitive is model performance to changes of the boundary conditions?<br /> * Can we define common settings for the inner boundary location, and the plasma density or temperature applied at this boundary?<br /> <br /> We also anticipate presentations on topics such as the influence of the plasma sheet boundary conditions on ring current development and also welcome specifications of uncertainties derived from observations and lessons from data assimilation and ensemble modeling methods.<br /> <br /> '''Draft Agenda:'''<br /> (~12 min/ presentation, walk-ons welcome and we will adjust time appropriately)<br /> <br /> * Tim Guild: Introduction to Session<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Long-term, point, and single model analysis with measured solar wind inputs.<br /> * Bob Weigel: Validation of MHD Magnetosphere Models - Short-term, global, and intermodel comparisons with artificial solar wind inputs. <br /> * Lutz Rastaetter: Introduction to the Magnetopause Crossing Challenge. <br /> * Yari Collado-Vega: Events and observations for the magnetopause challenge. <br /> * Alex Glocer: The effects of the inner near Earth boundary conditions on MHD models. <br /> * Darren DeZeeuw: Virtual Model Repository tools to calculate metrics derived from CCMC runs. <br /> * All: Open Discussion<br /> <br /> ==== [IMS] Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (Amphitheater) ====<br /> <br /> == Friday, June 20, 2014 ==<br /> <br /> === 0815-1000 AM: Planery Session (Ports Ballroom IV-V) ===<br /> <br /> * '''Tail tutorial''' by ''Mike Wiltberger'' -- Determination of the global conductance pattern and its influence on the dynamics of the geospace<br /> * '''Student-selected tutorial''' by ''Robyn Millan'' -- Radiation belts: Lost and found in Antarctica<br /> <br /> === 1030 AM-1215 PM: Splinter Sessions ===<br /> <br /> ==== [Dayside] The Magnetosheath (Ports Ballroom I-III) ====<br /> <br /> ==== [GGCM] Metrics and Validation (Ports Ballroom VI-VIII) ====<br /> <br /> Validating Models Under Extreme Geomagnetic Conditions. <br /> <br /> Extreme events in the geospace environment are among the most interesting scientifically as well as important for their space weather consequences. The goals for this session are: to show model results for extreme events in the magnetosphere, to share information about the range of conditions where models have been validated, to assess methods for validating model performance with limited observations (such as for early historical events), and to assess the reliability of a model outside the range in which it has been validated. These results will guide our understanding of the magnetosphere under extreme conditions, and provide insight into what physics needs to be incorporated into models so that they perform better during extreme events.

<p>Toffo: /* 2014 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions */</p> <hr /> <div>==Tail-inner magnetosphere interactions (TIMI)==<br /> ===Executive Summary===<br /> The overarching science goal of this NSF/GEM Focus Group is to Understand modes of transport and acceleration that are responsible for the efficient plasma heating within the magnetotail and the inner magnetosphere.<br /> Understanding the physical mechanisms behind the transport and acceleration of plasma in to the inner magnetosphere is one of the missing links in our ability to predict near-Earth space weather. Recent observations and theoretical work have cast doubt on the idea that a global, laminar process can be responsible for the formation of the ring current from tail plasma. Thus, a picture is evolving in which meso-scale processes are the conduits for the energization of the inner magnetosphere. Flow channels, bursty bulk flows (BBFs), “bubbles” and associated dipolarization fronts (DFs) have emerged as potentially a key player in setting up the enhanced pressure in the inner magnetosphere that directly impacts its entire structure and dynamics. However, other meso scale processes, such as alternate types of tail turbulence, may also contribute. Recent observations and modeling have raised the controversial question whether a single phenomenon is responsible for inner magnetosphere energization, irrespective of activity level.<br /> This 4-year focus group will bring together data and modeling efforts to determine whether meso-scale processes are responsible for ring current energization, what those processes are, and how they can be fit into a comprehensive GGCM. It represents a new and timely topic propelled by the emerging model capabilities to couple MHD and kinetic physics as required. The growing and future data sets of THEMIS and RBSP will be critical to investigate the role and impact of these phenomena during strong convection, large substorms, quiet times. Whereas past FGs have dealt with the self-consistent treatment of the inner magnetosphere and the transport within the tail, this proposed FG focuses on a gap, not directly addressed by past FGs, that deals with the challenging interface region between the tail and the inner magnetosphere by specifically studying the formation, evolution and physics of the fast flows/BBFs/bubbles and their impact on the inner magnetosphere. <br /> <br /> The TIMI Focus Group includes the following science questions and topics:<br /> # What meso-scale phenomena are responsible for plasma transport and heating from the tail to the inner magnetosphere?<br /> # What is the physics of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles?<br /> # What is the role of ionospheric conductivity (including meso-scale structure resulting from precipitation enhancements) and flows in the formation and evolution of bubbles and other meso-scale structure s?<br /> # Theory and Modeling of Flow channels/BBF’s/Bubbles.<br /> # How does the transport and acceleration at Saturn, Jupiter and in the solar corona compare to that of the terrestrial magnetosphere?<br /> # Examine and apply the concept of entropy as an organizing principle to understand physical processes in the magnetosphere.<br /> ---------------<br /> ===2014 GEM Workshop : Tail Inner-magnetosphere interactions===<br /> The GEM focus group on Tail-Inner Magnetosphere Interactions will hold its breakout sessions on Tuesday June 17, 2014. We invite contributions to this session. More information on the focus group can be found at: http://gem.epss.ucla.edu/mediawikiwiki/index.php/GEM_Focus_Groups<br /> In addition to general contributions, we would like to invite participation from both modelers and observers in addressing two specific questions related to the physics of BBFs/dipolarization fronts: <br /> <br /> # How is the formation of the substorm current wedge related to BBFs/dipolarization fronts? <br /> # What is the physics of the oscillations in the field and plasma seen ahead of the front? <br /> <br /> Andrei Runov has suggested two events that have a lot of observations, these are April 4 and 8, 2009.

The SIMIC Focus Group will bring together observations and <br /> modeling to examine the coupled dynamics of the inner magnetosphere <br /> and ionosphere during geomagnetic storms. Recent improvements in <br /> modeling and ground- and space-based instrumentation allow this topic <br /> to be examined with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution and <br /> coverage. Some examples of relevant parameters of interest include: <br /> plasma distributions, magnetic topology, convection electric fields, <br /> and current systems.

Welcomed themes could include geospace <br /> model validation using regional ground magnetometer indices, model <br /> responses to dynamic magnetopause boundaries, long-term <br /> &quot;climatological&quot; model validation, using multi-variate metrics to <br /> assess model performance, or any related contribution. <br /> <br /> '''Session 2:''' How Validation Studies Guide Model Improvements: <br /> In this session, we solicit short presentations on specific examples <br /> of how discrepancies between models and observations have led to a <br /> better understanding of the physics that needs to be incorporated into <br /> models. Studies, or ideas, on studies involving model sensitivity to <br /> inputs and various model parameters are welcome. The session will <br /> include a discussion on better ways to design metrics and validation <br /> studies to uncover missing physics in models. <br /> <br /> '''Session 3:''' Validation of MHD models Coupled with other modules such <br /> as the Ring Current and Polar Outflow <br /> In this session we will investigate recent advances in the development <br /> of coupled models of the magnetosphere, inner magnetosphere, the <br /> plasmasphere/polar wind, and the ionosphere/thermosphere. We solicit <br /> short presentations on methods to link models, validate the outputs <br /> and constrain coupled model systems using observations. Emphasis <br /> should be placed on new physical processes that are described by the <br /> coupled models and on effects that remain out of scope and that limit <br /> the effectiveness and stability of the coupling. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your contributions.<br /> <br /> ==== Scheduled Presentations ====<br /> <br /> (''We welcome additional contributions.'')<br /> <br /> '''Session 1''': New Validation Results and Methods<br /> Thursday, 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM (''Chair: Tim Guild'')<br /> <br /> In this session we solicit short presentations focusing on all aspects of data-model comparisons.

The SIMIC Focus Group will bring together observations and <br /> modeling to examine the coupled dynamics of the inner magnetosphere <br /> and ionosphere during geomagnetic storms. Recent improvements in <br /> modeling and ground- and space-based instrumentation allow this topic <br /> to be examined with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution and <br /> coverage. Some examples of relevant parameters of interest include: <br /> plasma distributions, magnetic topology, convection electric fields, <br /> and current systems. More details about the SIMIC Focus Group can be <br /> found at:<br /> <br /> http://gem.epss.ucla.edu/mediawikiwiki/index.php/FG:_Storm-Time_Inner_Magnetosphere-Ionosphere_Convection<br /> <br /> We invite short presentations that highlight one or more of the <br /> following themes:<br /> <br /> # Improvements in self-consistent physics-based simulations of the coupled inner magnetosphere-ionosphere system during geomagnetic storms.<br /> # Instrumentation which can be used to examine storm-time magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling over large spatial scales and validate the simulations (e.g. magnetometers, radars, imaging, GPS receivers, etc.) <br /> # Any other discussion topics relevant to articulating an appropriate scope and emphasis for this Focus Group. (Since this is the first year, we are open to any comments or suggestions about how to move forward most effectively.)<br /> <br /> The SIMIC Focus Group will hold two sessions on Thursday afternoon and <br /> Friday morning.
