CEDAR email: Call for participation in the mini-GEM MIT coupling session

[Hyunju Connor]

Dear CEDAR scientists,

I would like to invite you to participate in the mini-GEM sessions titled “3D ionospheric electrodynamics and its impact on the magnetosphere - ionosphere - thermosphere (MIT) coupled system”. Three MIT sessions are scheduled during 12:00-13:30, 13:50-15:20, and 15:30-17:00 on December 9 (Sunday before the AGU meeting). The last session will be dedicated to the “ionospheric conductance challenge”, jointed with the Modeling Methods & Validation focus group. The mini-GEM will be held at the Hilton Old Town Alexandria in Alexandria, Virginia, ~30mins away from the AGU convention center by a car. 

Here are confirmed speakers. If you are interested in giving a talk, please send the title of your talk to Hyunju Connor at (hkconnor at alaska.edu <mailto:hkconnor at alaska.edu>). 

*** Confirmed Speaker List ***
Dogacan Ozturk - the effects of small-scale electric fields on the MIT coupling
Jonathan Krall - the effect of oxygen on the limiting H+ flux in the topside ionosphere
Kevin Pham - CMIT modeling
Alex Chartier - The cause of the puzzling annual variability of polar cap patches
Xiaozia Zhang - Diffuse aurora precipitation pattern deduced from the Electron-Cyclotron-Harmonics waves in the inner magnetosphere
Qingyu Zhu - Boundary-oriented convection and particle precipitation patterns for IMF Bz southward dominant conditions and their impacts on Joule heating: Preliminary results
Andrew Kiene - Observations of ion-neutral coupling and Joule heating driven by energy input from the magnetosphere

The detailed session information will be posted on the following webpage:

We are looking forward to your participation. 

Thank you very much.
Hyunju Connor, Binzheng Zhang, Gang Lu, and Haje Korth.
