From: Jasmine Sandhu, Hayley Allison, Maria-Theresia Walach, Clare Watt (j.sandhu at ucl.ac.uk)
We would like to draw your attention to an upcoming RAS Specialist Discussion Meeting: “The Global Response of the Terrestrial Magnetosphere During Storms and Substorms” on 08 February 2019 at the RAS, Burlington House. We are also pleased to announce that this meeting will include keynote talks from Mona Kessel (NASA/GSFC) and Elena Kronberg (Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research).
We invite you to submit an abstract via https://goo.gl/forms/O57VRvR8Z45d7UAe2. The deadline for abstract submission is 07 December 2018.
For further details please see http://ras.ac.uk/index.php/events-and-meetings/ras-meetings/global-response-terrestrial-magnetosphere-during-storms-and
Meeting description:
The magnetosphere is a highly variable environment, and the occurrence of storms and substorms result in the dramatic reconfiguration and redistribution of energy within the system. Understanding the conditions under which these events take place, the response of the magnetosphere, and the causes of the high variability observed is an area of active research.
This meeting aims to further our understanding of how internal and external factors combine to shape the global structure of the magnetosphere and the plasma stored therein during active times. We aim to integrate our collective knowledge of global changes in the magnetic field structure and of plasma behaviour across a wide range of energies, from cold plasmaspheric plasma through to the high energy populations in the plasma sheet, ring current, and outer radiation belt. In addition to bringing together observations from throughout the magnetosphere and ionosphere (e.g., Van Allen, Cluster, and the SuperDARN network), new modelling and simulation results will also provide insight into the response of the terrestrial magnetosphere to a wide range of geomagnetic activity.

Extreme Space Weather (ESW) events can substantially impact our modern technological infrastructure. Although rare, they have been identified by the U.S. (National Space Weather Action Plan) and international research programs as a growing concern. However, such events have rarely been observed through modern and reliable historical data sets, and a concise understanding of their consequences are challenging. The goal of this session is to provide an opportunity for the discussion of current and ongoing scientific and societal efforts to establish realistic scenarios for the understanding of ESW events, from the solar source to their effects in space and on the ground and how to prepare for and mitigate their consequences. We invite papers covering modern and historical data analyses, modeling, risk assessment, as well as science policy efforts to improve ESW benchmarks for forecasting, protecting, and mitigating impacts on spacecraft, communications systems, power grids, etc.

------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jason Shuster, Cecilia Norgren, Frederick Wilder (jason.r.shuster at nasa.gov)
Dear GEM colleagues,
Have you ever wished you could include interactive plots, videos, and animated content on your AGU poster? With eLightning touch-screen ‘posters’, now you can! We invite you to submit an abstract to our session focused on exhibiting Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) multi-spacecraft data and simulations of magnetic reconnection.
Session ID: 49832
Session Title: SM005. Interactive Visualizations of Magnetic Reconnection: Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Observations and Simulations
Section/Focus Group: SPA-Magnetospheric Physics
This session presents a novel opportunity to visualize and interact with results from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to elucidate the microphysics of magnetic reconnection in the natural laboratory of Earth's magnetosphere. The unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution of the four-spacecraft constellation motivates exploration of new visualization techniques for space data. MMS observations of dayside magnetopause and nightside magnetotail reconnection will be presented in concert with state-of-the-art simulation predictions. Creative presentations of multi-spacecraft analysis and reconnection concepts are encouraged to best communicate the discoveries of this revolutionary mission. Examples of engaging, interactive formats could include animations of four-spacecraft time series data, movies of global or kinetic reconnection simulations to compare with MMS measurements, and three dimensional visualizations of fields and plasma distribution functions. All abstracts to this session are planned to utilize AGU's eLightning format with interactive touch screen posters. Depending on availability, this session may also incorporate traditional posters.

9. AGU Fall Meeting Session SM019: Recent Advances in Understanding Energy-Dependent Dynamics of Radiation Belt Particles
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Hong Zhao, Lauren Blum, Shri Kanekal, Binbin Ni (hong.zhao at lasp.colorado.edu)
Dear colleagues,
We would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to our AGU session SM019 “Recent advances in understanding energy-dependent dynamics of radiation belt particles”. (https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/44686)
Session ID: 44686
Session Title: SM019. Recent advances in understanding energy-dependent dynamics of radiation belt particles
Session Description:
The Earth’s radiation belt electrons (10s of keV - 10s of MeV) exhibit energy-dependent acceleration, transport and loss processes under the influence of various physical mechanisms. Recent observations with wide energy coverage and high energy resolution shed light on the dynamics of these different populations, including source (10s of keV), seed (100s of keV), relativistic (~MeV), and ultra-relativistic (>~3 MeV) electrons. Understanding the energy-dependent behavior of radiation belt electrons and the effectiveness and relative importance of physical mechanisms on different populations is critical for understanding radiation belt dynamics. This session invites submissions exploring energy-dependent dynamics of radiation belt electrons and energy-dependent effects of physical mechanisms on radiation belt particles. We especially encourage presentations utilizing data from radiation belt missions (Van Allen Probes, ARASE, THEMIS, GOES, POES, BARREL, SAMPEX, CubeSats, etc.) as well as theory and modeling efforts to explain such observations.

10. AGU Fall Meeting Session SM020: Recent observational findings and modeling efforts to understand small-scale magnetospheric energy input and its impact on the IT system.
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Hyunju Connor (hkconnor at alaska.edu)
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to our AGU session focusing on the small-scale (less than 1000km) magnetospheric energy input and its impact on the IT system. Here are the session title and description.
SM020: Recent observational findings and modeling efforts to understand small-scale magnetospheric energy input and its impact on the It system.
The small-scale features observed in the ionosphere and thermosphere (for example, soft electron precipitation near the cusp and hot spots in the polar caps) suggest that the magnetospheric energy input and its deposition can be very localized. With recent addition of space observations (ex. ePOP and SWARM), their detailed features and physics mechanisms are about to be unveiled. On the other hand, modeling communities have not yet fully addressed such local phenomena. The empirical models (ex. Ovation-prime and Weimer) smooth out such features during their averaging process. Global MHD models (ex. OpenGGCM, CMIT, and SWMF) have limitation due to its conducting fluid approach. Recently, new modeling methods emerge to address those missing physics, for instance coupling a kinetic electron transport model with the inner magnetosphere model. This session invites recent findings in the observations and current theoretical/modeling efforts to address the small-scale features in the MIT system.
Thank you very much,
Hyunju Connor, Binzheng Zhang, and Gang Lu.

------------------------------------------------------------
From: Rualdo Soto-Chavez (NJIT), Jerry W. Manweiler (FTEC), Kunihiro Keika (Univ. Tokyo) (arsoto at njit.edu)
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the 2018 Fall AGU session “Understanding Earth’s Ring-Current: Measurements, Theory, and Modeling”.
This session seeks observational contributions using data from current missions such as Van Allen Probes, Arase (ERG), MMS, THEMIS, Cluster, etc., and also welcomes new results on Theory and Modeling of Ring Current processes.
Link to submit an abstract
https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/abstract-submissions/
(Deadline August 1, 23:59 EDT)
Session Description:
Understanding the formation and the decay of Earth’s ring-current is one of the most important topics in magnetospheric physics. It is known that Earth’s ring-current formation, mostly due to the ion dynamics, has a profound impact on Earth’s magnetic field and on the dynamics of trapped radiation. As the ions are injected into and drift through the Earth’s inner magnetosphere, they interact with the intrinsic and induced electric and magnetic fields. Wave-particle interactions are then an important component of the ring current dynamics. Other processes such as charge exchange and radial/pitch angle diffusion are also important in the lifetime of the ring-current population. What effects are more important in different regions of the magnetosphere is still an outstanding question. This session seeks observational contributions from current missions such as Van Allen Probes, Arase (ERG), MMS, THEMIS, Cluster, etc., and new results on theory and modeling of ring current processes.

13. AGU Fall Meeting Session SA006: Ground-Truth Data and Model Validation for Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling Processes
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Katherine Garcia-Sage, Stephen Kaeppler, Tomoko Matsuo, Robert Robinson (katherine.garcia-sage at nasa.gov)
Dear Colleagues-
We would like to encourage you to submit a presentation to the "SA006: Ground-Truth Data and Model Validation for Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling Processes" session at the 2018 Fall AGU Meeting. This session will be an outstanding opportunity to make progress in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling by bringing together data and models. This session will feature invited presentations by Jesper Gjerloev (JHU-APL) and Olga Verkhoglyadova (NASA-JPL).
Title: SA006: Ground-Truth Data and Model Validation for Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling Processes
Summary: Magnetosphere-Ionosphere coupling includes several feedback processes that can be characterized as electromagnetic (e.g. currents, electric fields, waves, conductivities) or mass coupling (e.g. precipitating and outflowing particles, bulk plasma). Magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling has a strong impact on geomagnetic activity and space weather. Direct measurements of the relevant processes are sparse, making it necessary to use remote and/or indirect observations that are dependent on modeled parameters. Therefore, it is important to resolve uncertainties in models of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling with ground-truth observational data. Analysis of observational data and construction of global datasets often includes the use of simplifying assumptions, fitting, or statistics that contribute to another set of uncertainties. These data and models require validation against each other with consideration of uncertainties. We welcome papers on datasets that can test understanding and prediction of global magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling parameters, as well as validation of physics-based, empirical, and assimilative models and suggested metrics for future validation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Section/Focus Group: SPA-Aeronomy
View Session Details: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/50201
Description: The Swarm constellation recently became a quartet with the addition of the CASSIOPE Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) as Swarm-E. Since their launch in the Fall of 2013, Swarm and Swarm-E have formed the vanguard of remote and in situ diagnostics of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) system. As a quartet, Swarm will enable new insight into MIT coupling processes and wave-particle interactions across multiple spatiotemporal scales. We solicit contributions focusing on the major theoretical, modeling, and experimental MIT science results from the first 5 years of Swarm and Swarm-E, as well as contributions that identify new and emerging MIT science targets for the mission. Papers regarding MIT coupling processes at all latitudes are welcome. In particular, we seek contributions that focus on multi-point, multi-instrument (including ground-based instruments), and/or multi-spacecraft measurements, including those from other spacecraft missions.
Please note that the abstract deadline is August 1, 2018, 11:59 PM EDT. Sincerely,
