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

ULF Wave Modeling, Effects, and Applications (UMEA) (December 2015)

ULF wave modeling challenge

ULF wave modeling challenge at CCMC

Summary Report for 2016 GEM workshop

UMEA FG report

2016 Mini-GEM

UMEA will hold one session at the mini-GEM workshop: ULF wave modeling, effects and applications updates

Time: 12:00-13:30, Sunday, December 11, 2016

Location: Oregon Room, Holiday Inn Golden Gateway
