FG: ULF Wave Modeling, Effects, and Applications
Focus Group Leaders:
- Michael Hartinger, Virginia Tech (mdhartin@vt.edu)
- Kazue Takahashi, Applied Physics Laboratory
- Brian Kress, University of Colorado and NOAA
Focus Group term: 2016-2020

Science Questions
Our group aims to address the following broad science questions: What mechanisms excite ULF waves? How do ULF waves couple to the plasmasphere/ring current/radiation belt populations? What is the role of ULF waves in Magnetosphere-Ionosphere coupling?
Focus Group Proposal
