GEM Inner Magnetosphere Storms

GEM Inner Magnetosphere Storms

Conveners: Mary Hudson (Dartmouth) and Geoff Reeves (LANL)

There has been a highly productive overlap between the GEM Inner Magnetosphere/Storms Campaign and ISTP storm event studies, with ISTP investigators participating in the three preceeding GEM Snowmass workshops during which events have been chosen and science objectives defined. The May 97, September & October 98 storms, described on the campaign webpage will be the focus of discussion.

Brief and informal talks on data and modelling results for these storms are solicited, along with ISTP storm event comparisons and common themes. There will be several invited speakers, to be announced.

Interested participants should contact one of the organizers with details concerning the talks they wish to present.
