Wednesday 26/06/2019 - UMEA/DAYS/IHMIC 10:30 - 12:00
Room: Santa Fe
Chair: Thomas Elsden
Theme: To consider the ULF wave response to dayside transients with different temporal/spatial scales and asymmetries.
Goals/topics:
- How are ULF wave properties affected by asymmetries in the upstream driver? What modelling/observational work is required to answer this?
- Further, how then do the resulting ULF wave asymmetries impact the M-I system?
- How does the 3D structure of dayside kinetic phenomena (e.g., spatial scale of magnetopause disturbance, location relative to magnetic equator) affect the ULF response in different hemispheres/LT sectors?
- Can we use magnetospheric observations to determine the size (localized vs global) of a dayside transient? Is the response well-enough understood?

Wednesday 26/06/2019 - DAYS/BSH 13:30 - 15:00
Room: Lumpkins Ballroom South
Chair: Andrew Dimmock
Theme: Discuss new studies of key kinetic processes which are important to both the bow shock and dayside region.

Thursday 27/06/2019 - RX/DAYS 13:30 - 15:00
Room: Lumpkins Ballroom South
Chairs: Rick Wilder and Ying Zou
Theme: Magnetic reconnection itself is one important dayside kinetic process and it is closely related to other kinetic processes, including waves and turbulence. This session tries to understand fundamentals of dayside reconnection.
Goals/topics:
- What are the characteristics of magnetic reconnection on the dayside?
- What role does reconnection play in forming various dayside transients?
- What are the new approaches/opportunities of studying magnetic reconnection?
