A Proposal for the Establishment of a Center of Excellence in Theoretical Geoplasma Research.
Abstract
Research topics considered include: ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling, high-latitude ionospheric turbulence, charged particle acceleration and heating, nonclassical polar wind, double layers, magnetic reconnection, strong MHD turbulence, plasma radiations induced by moving conducting objects in the low-altitude ionosphere, and F region subvisual polar arcs. Partial Contents: Transverse Acceleration and Heating of Ionospheric Ions and the Formation of Ion Conics: Transverse Heating of Ionospheric Ions along: Auro rl Field Lines by Intense Electromagnetic; Turbulence in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies; Acceleration of Ionospheric Ions by Lower Hybrid Waves in the Boundary Plasma Sheet; Two-Dimensional Particle-in-Cell Plasma Simulation of High-Latitude Lower Hybrid Turbulence and Charged Particle Acceleration; Ionospheric-Magnetosphere-S olar Wind Coupling Processes; Study of Detailed Particle Distribution and Pitch Angle Scattering in the Diffuse Aurora; A New Nonclassical Polar Wind Theory; and Plasma Radiations in the Low-Altitude Ionosphere; Due to Moving Conducting Objects.
