Global Magnetospheric Observations: Achievements to Date

Chair: Bob Hoffman

This session will be devoted to speakers summarizing the accomplishments that have taken place within the last 5 - 10 years. As such these are not devoted to single instruments or studies but instead survey the field(s) devoted to understanding geospace and establish a baseline against which future progress will be measured. This session should emphasize new discoveries and highlight questions remaining to be answered. Hopefully these discoveries and questions will be addressed during the course of the workshop.

Global Simulation as a Tool for Synthesis

Chairs: Chuck Goodrich and Mike Liemohn

A session focused on bringing together modelers and instrument scientists to discuss how best to use simulations to synthesize observations into a global understanding of geospace and fill in the gaps where necessary. The goal is not simply to present the latest models, etc. but to explain how the current modeling tools can be best be used by the experimental community. In turn, the experimentalists need to inform the modeling participants about what types of modeling needs to be done. In short, the people who analyze data need to understand the importance and availability of models, and vice versa.

Contemporary Correlative Observations via Optical Imaging Methods

Chair: Jim Spann

This session will highlight accomplishments of current imaging campaigns. The emphasis will be on how current imaging missions are being used in conjunction with discrete observations to obtain a global picture larger than that available from individual measurements alone. Also, what problems and successes have been encountered in these types of correlative campaigns?

Session 4 - Wednesday, October 28
Viewing in a New Light: Imaging with Non-Optical Techniques

Chairs: Ruth Skoug and Bill Bristow

The concept of imaging can be extended beyond the traditional picture of imaging by photons, i.e. optical techniques. New techniques include ENA, RPI, groundbased radar, and proposed magnetospheric constellation missions. Any technique that brings together information from an extended region and synthesizes it into a coherent picture can be included in this discussion. Of particular interest is a discussion of the realistic expectations and limitations of each concept.

The emphasis should be on the science content associated with each techniques. This is not intended to be a 'nuts & bolts' session.
