What is Missing in the Modern Plasmaspheric Studies?

Abstract:

The inner magnetosphere space environment, where the plasmasphere is located, is a fundamentally complex system with energy flowing between its different plasma components and waves. The energy that enters that system from the Sun, are processed and redistributed through the magnetospheric regions before it either leaves the system or is finally deposited in the ionosphere-plasmasphere region. Understanding how the energy flows, get processed, redistributed, and deposited to the plasmasphere throughout the fully coupled system is a central question of fundamental importance that is missing in all modern plasmaspheric studies, and will be presented in this talk.
