Dear colleagues,



Please note the session on " Auroral Forms And Their Role In The Dungey Convection Cycle", to be held at the upcoming AGU 2010 Fall Meeting, 13-17 December 2010, in San Francisco. Papers based on observations from ground-based or space assets, theoretical studies, or simulations/modeling are all welcome.



Best regards,

Jesper W Gjerloev, Brian Anderson, Larry Lyons, and William Lotko





AGU Fall Meeting 2010

SM13: Auroral Forms And Their Role In The Dungey Convection Cycle

Sponsor:     SPA-Magnetospheric Physics

Co-Sponsor:  SPA-Aeronomy


AURORAL FORMS and their role in THE DUNGEY CONVECTION CYCLE

Closing the Dungey global convection cycle is a fundamental space physics problem that all driven magnetospheres have to resolve. At Earth this cycle is intimately tied to the electrodynamics of the meso-scale auroral forms seen in the nighttime sector.  These recurrent forms are associated with the field-aligned currents which determine the pattern and degree of return flow on the nightside.  The closure processes  spawn a multitude of scale sizes whose roles in energy and momentum transport are not currently understood.  Papers based on observations from ground-based or space assets, theoretical studies, or simulations/modeling are all welcome.



Abstract submission for the AGU Fall Meeting 2010 is now open.

Submission deadline of Thursday 2 September 2010.

Also note that Friday 27 August is the last day to join the AGU in order to submit an abstract as a member. More details will be posted on the AGU fall meeting website at http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/.
