Magnetosphere/Ionosphere coupling - FAST-POLAR-IMAGE contributions
to ISTP Science
Conveners: Rob Pfaff (NASA/GSFC), Bob Strangeway (UCLA),
Bob Hoffman (NASA/GSFC)
Devoted to the topic of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, this
splinter session will use measurements, modeling, and theory to
advance our understanding of how energy and momentum is transferred
between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Additionally, the extent
by which the ionosphere/thermosphere system might regulate specific
magnetospheric processes will also be included as discussion
material. We anticipate that correlative measurements between FAST,
Polar, and IMAGE will be used to promote discussion and further our
understanding, although other presentations that address outstanding
M-I coupling issues, such as "stand-alone" results from any of these
missions or modeling and theoretical results, are also encouraged.
Interested participants should contact one of the organizers with a
title of the talks they wish to present or events they wish to
discuss.
