Dr Laila Andersson (LASP)13/08/2015, 14:00Workshop, August 10-14OralHow plasma stored in the Magnetotail is returned back to Earth has great implication of the Earth magnetosphere responds to changes in the solar wind. In the magnetotail both oxygen and protons are impacted by fast tail changes such as magnetic reconnection and cross tail oscillations. The Cluster mission observations of the magnetotail flows shows that at low speeds protons and oxygen...Go to contribution page

Mr Magic Zazralt (Niels Bohr Institute)13/08/2015, 14:25Workshop, August 10-14OralTheoretical atmosphere models provide the basis for a variety of applications for astronomy. In one-dimensional (1D) atmosphere models, convection is usually treated with the mixing-length theory. However, this theory is by far not flawless and the superadiabatic regime is poorly rendered. Due to the increasing computational power, we are now capable to compute large grids of...Go to contribution page

Ilja Honkonen (NASA/GSFC)13/08/2015, 14:50Workshop, August 10-14OralDue to its multi-scale nature, magnetic reconnection is difficult to model numerically using a full electromagnetic description of plasma in a system whose size is orders of magnitude larger than the smallest relevant spatial scales. In the context of Earth's magnetosphere reconnection has been modeled using a magnetohydrodynamic description of plasma for decades while kinetic...Go to contribution page
