CEDAR email: 2023 AGU Call for Abstract: (SM026) Session on Kinetic Alfvén Waves

[Krushna Chandra Barik]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention and invite you to consider submitting
an abstract to the SM026 session in SPA-Magnetospheric Physics at the AGU
Fall Meeting, 2023 to be held in San Francisco, CA, 11-15 December, 2023.



*Session Title:* SM026. The Importance of Kinetic Alfvén Waves for
Microscale Physics



*Session Description:*

Kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) play significant role in space plasma dynamics
at microscale, i.e., at scale length of ion gyro radius or electron
inertial length. In Earth’s magnetosphere, KAWs play an important role in
energy transfer processes from magnetic-reconnection at magnetopause and
magnetotail to dipolarization fronts and auroral dynamics, which is also
observed in outer planet magnetosphere.  In heliospheric turbulent plasmas,
KAWs are thought to be a critical pathway for energy dissipation at
microphysical scales. Spacecraft missions such as THEMIS, Cluster and MMS
at Earth, while Solar Orbiter and PSP in solar wind and Cassini and Juno at
Saturn and Jupiter are increasingly capable of examining KAWs and their
effects in various regions of heliosphere. Further, as simulation
capabilities increase, and theoretical boundaries are pushed, novel
progress is being made to understand basic KAW physics. This session
invites studies related to theory, observations and simulations of KAWs
throughout the heliosphere.



*Abstract Submission Deadline:* Wednesday, 2 August 2023 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1
GMT



We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much for
your attention.



If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.



Sincerely,



Krushna Chandra Barik
