FG: Magnetospheric Sources of Particle Precipitation and Their Role on Electrodynamic Coupling of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Systems
The MPEC Focus group aims to characterize magnetospheric particle precipitation from source to destination with rejuvenating observational and numerical capabilities.
Focus Group Chairs
Dogacan Su Ozturk -- University of Alaska Fairbanks 
Dong Lin -- High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research  
Yiqun Yu -- Beihang University 
Katherine Garcia-Sage -- NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 
Stephen Kaeppler -- Clemson University 
Focus Group Goals
To advance the physical knowledge and improve the numerical modelling of: 
- The magnetospheric particle precipitation (precipitation mechanism and characteristics, magnetospheric origin, auroral forms). 
- The effects of particle precipitation on the ionospheric electrodynamics, with an emphasis on the ionospheric conductance. 
- Response of the I-T system to precipitation and its feedback to the Magnetosphere.
