Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
We invite you to submit an abstract to the Fall AGU session <b><br>
SM001: A century of ring current investigations: The quest to
predict it</b><br>
<br>
<b>Session Description: </b>The Earth’s inner magnetosphere is a
highly dynamic system, coupled through a complex set of physical
processes to the outer magnetosphere and the ionosphere. The largest
variations in the inner magnetospheric plasma and fields occur
during geomagnetic storms and are related to the intensification of
the ring current, the magnetically trapped charged particles
circling Earth mostly inside geosynchronous orbit. The mechanisms
for particle injection in this space environment and their
subsequent trapping or loss have been studied for many years;
however, their theoretical evaluation and implementation in
numerical models predicting the creation and demise of the ring
current remain challenging. Measurements from past and on-going
space missions such as, Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, Cluster, and
others are of extreme importance for probing the inner
magnetosphere. This session invites papers that fill the gaps in our
understanding of ring current dynamics as part of the highly coupled
inner magnetosphere system.<br>
<br>
The session is cross-listed among Aeronomy, Solar and Heliospheric
Physics, and Nonlinear Geophysics. The session ID is 12509.<br>
