CEDAR email: Invitation to Participate in the ML-GEM Challenge Storm Session at Mini-GEM

[Connor, Hyunju K. (GSFC-6730)]

Dear CEDAR colleagues,

We invite you to participate in the ML-GEM challenge storm session at mini-GEM, scheduled for 3:30-5:00pm on Sunday, December 8, at the Westin Washington, DC Downtown, 999 9th St NW, Washington, DC20001.

Machine Learning-based Geospace Environment Modeling (ML-GEM) is a new resource group selected by the GEM workshop steering committee in 2024. ML-GEM has two primary goals:

  1.  Develop an Artificial Intelligence Modeling Framework for Advancing Heliophysics Research (AIMFAHR) by integrating AI efforts across the community
  2.  Advance system-of-systems science in Sun-Earth interaction through data-driven approaches.

At this mini-GEM session, we invite AI modelers from various heliophysics domains —from the Sun and solar wind to the dayside, inner, and tail magnetosphere, upper atmosphere, and ground —to present results on any of the following challenge storms:

  1.  January 4, 2023 (minimum Sym-H :-74nT at 09:04UT)
  2.  May 6, 2023 (minimum Sym-H : -108 nT at 05:11 UT)
  3.  May 11, 2024 (minimum Sym-H : -518nT at 02:14 UT)
Preliminary results are welcome, and while comparison with the observations would be appreciated, they are not required.

The goal of this mini-GEM session is to lay the groundwork for future ML-GEM storm challenge sessions.  We will showcase preliminary results of the challenge storms, discuss potential collaboration, and plan a more coordinated approach to the AIMFAHR framework. We hope you can contribute to our ML-GEM activities.

If you are interested, please register your talk by November 29 using the following link: https://forms.gle/jG8qKbduXCr3MBxS7. If you do not feel ready, that’s fine —we will hold an ML-GEM challenge storm session at the next GEM-CEDAR workshop in Iowa, where we would love to see your contribution there.

Please note that all mini-GEM attendees, including remote participants, are required to register at https://gemworkshop.org/.   Registration is FREE.

Best regards,
Hyunju Connor, Matt Argall, Xiangning Chu, Bashi Ferdousi, and Valluri Sai Gowtam.


Note - If you receive this email on nights and/or weekends, that doesn't mean I expect you to read it or reply at that time. Please read & reply when you can during whatever your working hours happen to be.
