Updates
WG2: Mechanisms of Geomagnetic Storms and Radiation Belt Response, is
planning a joint meeting with WG3 (Ionospheric Storms) on Monday
afternoon after the coffee break, to discuss plasmspheric plumes and
ionospheric signatures; and a joint meeting with WG1
(Drivers of Geomagnetic Storms) on Tuesday morning after the coffee
break, to discuss double-Dst storms and their solar wind signatures.
Besides tutorial speakers listed in the general announcement below,
focus topic speaker Sasha Ukhorskiy will kick off the Monday afternoon
WG1 session with a radiation belt talk; Pontus Brandt and Jerry
Goldstein will speak to the ring current and plasmasphere roles in
the Cycle 23 storms on Thursday and Friday, in plenary. Abstracts received
by 1/31/07 will be organized for the conference part of the meeting, Wednesday-
Friday. We expect to have more time available for working group discussion
during the latter part of the week.
Suggestions for focus topics for our WG2 sessions Monday PM , Tuesday AM
and Tuesday PM are welcome, please e-mail mary.hudson[at]dartmouth.edu or
liemohn[at]umich.edu.
Final Announcement and Call for Papers
This is the final call for contributions on any topic related to
geomagnetic storms of cycle 23. Papers on storms from other cycles are
also invited, provided they compare them with the cycle 23 storms.
Registration and abstract submission deadline: January 31, 2007. Go to
http://cism.fit.edu/LWS-CDAW_2007_Registration.html. Students and young
researchers in need of financial assistance to the meeting should
contact Nat Gopalswamy (gopals AT ssedmail.gsfc.nasa DOT gov) by January 31.
The list of 88 major geomagnetic storms (Dst < -100 nT) from 1996 to
2005 with links to all kinds of observations from the Sun to Earth can be
found in the following location:
http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/geomag_cdaw/Data_master_table.html
The data sets will be used to address several key questions that can be
broadly classified as Heliosphere and Sun-Earth Connectedness, Global
Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Response, and Inner Magnetosphere and
Ionosphere Response. The questions are listed in
http://cism.fit.edu/LWS-CDAW_2007_Main.html#questions.
Tutorial speakers:
Mary Hudson, Tim Fuller-Rowell, Dimitris Vassiliadis, Janet Luhmann,
David Sibeck, Ramona Kessell, and Lika Guhathakurta.
