MESO/DIP Joint Session

For the duration of the DIP FG, we have discussed the roles that mesoscale phenomena (e.g. DFBs, BBFs, injections, streamers) play with respect to the global system response (e.g. global dipolarization, MLT wide injections). As our FG winds down, the MESO FG will take the lead on this topic. We therefore are hosting a joint session to address these topics.

Discussion Leaders/Speakers

• Yangyang Shen: Contribution of kinetic Alfvén waves to energetic electron scattering and precipitation from plasma sheet injections
• James Weygand: ASI and GOES Observations of Nighttime Magnetic Perturbation Events Observed in Canada
