SM52B:
Synergistic Studies of Global and Kinetic Magnetospheric Processes using Multipoint Space and Ground Assets II


Session ID#: 11112

Session Description:
Considering all in-situ assets in combination with distributed ground based arrays, we have a robust Heliophysics system observatory for probing our complex space environment. This is in fact what is needed for exploring global connections and their interplay with meso-scale and kinetic processes, signatures of which can be seen in various regions: from the bow shock, magnetopause, dayside cusp, nightside plasma sheet to the inner magnetopshere, aurora and polar cap. It is necessary to understand how turbulence transports energy from large scales to small scales, how reconnection converts magnetic energy to plasma energy, how small-scale processes control large-scale phenomena, and how thin boundary layers are formed and sustained in the presence of plasma turbulence. We solicit a broad range of presentations using existing and future assets, including satellites (such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, Cluster, Geotail and MMS), rockets, balloons and ground-based networks such as optical, radio and magnetometer arrays.
