GEM Focus Groups
GEM Planning Activities
The following proposals have been submitted to the GEM Steering Committee for new Focus Groups starting in Summer 2011:
- Multi-scale Electrodynamics of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Interactions by Anatoly Streltsov, Joseph Huba, and Kristina Lynch
- Metrics and Validation by Masha Kuznetsova, Aaron Ridley, Tim Guild, Lutz Rastaetter, and Howard Singer
- The Ionospheric Source of Magnetospheric Plasma - Measuring, Modeling and Merging into the GEM GGCM by Bob Schunk, Rick Chappell, and Dan Welling
- Scientific Magnetic Mapping & Techniques by Eric Donovan, Elizabeth MacDonald, and Robyn Millan
- Magnetospheric Response to Transient Solar Wind Features by Hui Zhang, Q.-G. Zong, George Parks, and Aaron Ridley
- Magnetic Reconnection Modules in Global Modeling of the Magnetosphere by Brian Sullivan
