It is first revealed by episodic auroral activities in the polar regions. Substorm phenomena manifest the fundamental processes in space plasma dynamics and substorm-like disturbances have been found in many space plasma regions throughout our solar system. For example, such disturbances have been discovered in other planetary magnetospheres. The underlying physical processes responsible for substorms on Earth have been compared with those for solar flares and coronal mass ejections. This concept has motivated numerous studies on impulsive plasma phenomena in the investigation of solar terrestrial relations. This session invites research related to the impact of the substorm concept on present and past research efforts through data analysis, theory, and simulations of outstanding space plasma problems.</div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; "><br></span></div><div><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Primary Section/Focus Group: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">SPA-Magnetospheric Physics<br></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Co-Sponsor(s):</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">SA - SPA-Aeronomy<br>SH - SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics </span></p><p></p><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Index Terms:</span></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">2101 Coronal mass ejections [INTERPLANETARY PHYSICS]<br>2441 Ionospheric storms [IONOSPHERE]<br>2788 Magnetic storms and substorms [MAGNETOSPHERIC PHYSICS] </span></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "></p><div class="page" title="Page 1" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">Primary Convener Anthony Lui</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Primary Email: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; "><a href="mailto:tony.lui@jhuapl.edu">tony.lui@jhuapl.edu</a> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Phone: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">2402285598</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Affiliation(s):</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">The Johns Hopkins Univ<br>Laurel MD 20723-6099 (United States)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">Co-Convener Zuyin Pu</span></p></div></div></div></div><div class="page" title="Page 2" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Primary Email: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; "><a href="mailto:zypu@pku.edu.cn">zypu@pku.edu.cn</a> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Phone: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">861062753823</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Affiliation(s):</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">Peking University Beijing (China)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">Co-Convener Lou-Chuang Lee</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Primary Email: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; "><a href="mailto:loulee@jupiter.ss.ncu.edu.tw">loulee@jupiter.ss.ncu.edu.tw</a> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Phone: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">(2)278-39910 (318)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-weight: 700; ">Affiliation(s):</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeue; ">In</span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 10pt; ">stitute of Earth Sciences Academia Sinica Taipei 115 (Taiwan)</span></p><div><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 10pt; "><br></span></div></div></div></div></div><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
