Plan I

• Agreed to spend 10% of project time contributing to and supporting other team members research activity

  • Re-cast individual research plan in common NASA template – 1 month

  • Objective, Goals, People, Expertise, Tasks

  • Share presentation with team

  • Study/examine all the individual research plans – 3 months

  • Decide how you would contribute to the other teams members research plan

  • Follow through – on-going

• Monthly zoom telecons

Plan II

• 10% of project time devoted to supporting and improving Benchmarks

• Overlap of team with 4 of the 5 Benchmarks, several team members involved with Phase I or Phase II

  • GICs

  • Ionizing radiation

  • Ionosphere

  • Upper atmosphere expansion

• Define what we mean by 1/100 CME

• Bz –50 to 70, Vsw ~ 2000 km/s, ρsw ~ 50 to 60 cm-3, Tsw ~ 80 × 105 K

• Choose a past interval that has a good spectrum of fluctuation, preconditioning, scale to match extreme CME event – Raeder action

• Define what we mean by 1/100 year solar flare – Dave Siskind and Jeff Reep, X50

• How does I-T system respond to the extreme CME after filtering by the magnetosphere?

  • Erosion

  • SED/SAPS

  • EIA

  • +ve and –ve phases

  • Temperature density

  • NILE

  • Disturbance dynamo and penetration E

• Ionosphere-Thermosphere model: 

  • TIEGCM

  • SAMI3

  • IPE/CTIPe

  • NRL-MSIS

  • GA

  • IDA4D/EMPIRE DA

Team Goals and Objectives

• How does the Geospace system respond to extreme solar events?

  • How does the magnetosphere respond to an extreme CME?

  • How does the I-T system respond to the extreme CME after being filtered by the magnetosphere? 

  • How does the I-T system respond to an extreme solar flare?
