URSI-GA 2014, Session G06: Modeling the Geospace Environment

Abstracts due 15 February at http://www.chinaursigass.com/

Conveners: M. Förster (mfo at gfz-potsdam.de), A.A. Namgaladze
(namgaladze at mstu.edu.ru, namgaladze at yandex.ru)

Summary: This session is devoted to the latest achievements in the area
of the Earth’s atmosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere-magnetosphere system
modeling including its electrodynamics. The coupling processes of
interactions between various regions of the geospace environment will
be considered using modern physical-numerical models. The problems of
the inputs, initial and boundary conditions of the models will be
discussed as well as results of their validation via comparisons
between the models and observations of such upper atmosphere parameters
as electron density and total electron content, thermosphere mass density
and winds, electric fields and plasma drifts, and so forth. This session
will foster the collaboration among modelers, data providers and research
communities in order to improve mutual understanding and state-of-the-art
data analyses of geospace missions like CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite
Payload), Swarm and others.
