FG: Scientific Magnetic Mapping & Techniques

2012 GEM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday June 18 - 20, 2012 from 3:30 to 5:00 PM,

• Session 1: Magnetic Mapping Techniques (Co-chairs: Liz MacDonald and Robyn Millan) Salon D

Natalia Ganushkina, Interhemispheric magnetic conjugacy

Chia-Lin Huang, comparison of different field models to measured fields at GOES

Mike Henderson, Tutorial on Event-Based Modeling

Kyungguk Min, New, rapid L* calculation

Jun Liang, In-situ calculation of magnetic field-line curvature and its application in M-I mapping

Gang Lu, Magnetic field modeling constrained by GOES and THEMIS

Rob Redmon, DMSP auroral boundaries

• Session 2: Joint with Substorms, Late Growth Phase Mapping (Co-chairs: Eric Donovan and Shin Ohtani) Salon D

Toshi Nishimura: Mapping implications of the onset arc location relative to the Birkeland Currrents

Jun Liang: The magnetospheric "root" of the onset auroral arc

Larry Lyons: Mapping implications of the very thin auroral oval in the late growth phase

Jian Yang: Growth phase magnetic field model

• Session 3: CHALLENGE! (Co-chairs: Larry Kepko, Eric, Liz, and Robyn) Salon C

We'll present a few ideas on challenge suggestions. CCMC folks are very interested in facilitating a challenge. Robyn will also present a few thoughts on RBSP-centric upcoming mapping opportunities. Please think about what you could contribute to a challenge, and what you would like to get out of it. Bring your ideas, questions, maybe a slide, and be prepared to discuss!

2011 Mini-GEM Sunday Dec. 4, 2011 from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, in the Franciscan I room.

• We would like to invite community participation in our session, by simply adding input to our survey forms on Mapping Science questions (http://bit.ly/vYuGc5) and Mapping Techniques (http://bit.ly/ucmMLQ). The survey results will be discussed at the mini-GEM and form the basis for planning of activities for the 2012 summer GEM Workshop. They will also be posted online (http://bit.ly/vPLlv9, http://bit.ly/uFw8Uz). We also welcome 1 slide presentations on specific questions or techniques if you wish. V. Papitashvili will give a brief intro to magnetic coordinate systems at the mini-GEM also.

We look forward to a productive discussion and thank you for your input in advance.
