Session 1: Wednesday AM - Ion Outflow Effects on the Magnetosphere and Ring Current
Merged Modeling & Measurement
Description:
The focus group leaders for Merged Modeling and Measurements for the Magnetosphere with Ionospheric Ion Outflow (M3-I2) invite speakers to discuss model-measurement of ion outflow on the magnetosphere and ring current during quiet, storm, and recovery times. We are open to any study of ion outflow effects in the magnetosphere and ring current. We encourage the integration of the observations from MMS and Van Allen probes with support from additional magnetospheric satellites (THEMIS, GEOTAIL, etc) when available. The intention is to move towards second-generation ion-outflow/magnetosphere modeling and understanding of the eventual distribution and history of the ionospheric ion component of magnetospheric plasma.
Session 2: Thursday AM - Ion Outflow and the Ionospheric Boundary
Merged Modeling & Measurement
Description:
The focus group leaders for Merged Modeling and Measurements for the Magnetosphere with Ionospheric Ion Outflow (M3-I2) invite speakers to discuss the physics, modeling, and measurements of ion outflow into the magnetosphere and inner magnetosphere during quiet, storm, and recovery times. We are striving to address the physics and modeling efficacy of ion outflow modeling into magnetospheric models. What is the ion outflow structure product from underlying ionosphere boundary conditions in subauroral, cusp, auroral, polar cap, dayside/nightside? How important are kinetic electron effects? Where are the regions and altitudes of wave-particle interactions for ion energization? Measurement and Model comparisons are encouraged.
