Plasmasphere-Magnetosphere Interactions (PMI)

How Are Magnetospheric Processes Regulated By Plasmaspheric Dynamics (and Vice Versa)?

Conveners: Jerry Goldstein, Joe Borovsky
Topic Chairs: Maria Spasojevic (Wave-Particle Interactions)
Joe Borovsky (Plume Dynamics & Recirculation)

TOPIC: WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS       

  •         I.         How does the evolving global distribution of cold plasma govern the growth and propagation of waves, specifically those that control energetic particle distributions & dynamics?
  •         II.         How do ambient plasma properties such as temperature, density, and composition influence wave particle interactions?

TOPIC: PLUME DYNAMICS & RECIRCULATION       

  •         I.         How is eroded plasmaspheric material transported throughout the magnetosphere, and how does it evolve?
  •         II.        How do plumes influence the reconnection process, and what are the implications for solar-wind-magnetosphere coupling?
