GEM 2008-2009 Activities & Documents
- PMI Science Questions From the 2008 GEM Meeting: "http://enarc.space.swri.edu/PAPERS/FTP/PMI/PMI-ScienceQuestions.doc"
- PMI Sessions At 2008 GEM Meeting: "http://enarc.space.swri.edu/PAPERS/FTP/PMI/GEM-PMI-08.xls"
- Original Focus Group Proposal: "http://enarc.space.swri.edu/PAPERS/FTP/PMI/PMI-FG-Proposal_v2.doc"
TOPIC: WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS
- I. How does the evolving global distribution of cold plasma govern the growth and propagation of waves, specifically those that control energetic particle distributions & dynamics?
- II. How do ambient plasma properties such as temperature, density, and composition influence wave particle interactions?
TOPIC: PLUME DYNAMICS & RECIRCULATION
- I. How is eroded plasmaspheric material transported throughout the magnetosphere, and how does it evolve?
- II. How do plumes influence the reconnection process, and what are the implications for solar-wind-magnetosphere coupling?
