Session Proposal: Understanding the Generation, Evolution, and Impact of Plasma Waves in Various Space Plasma Environments (AGU25)

SM031
Understanding the Generation, Evolution, and Impact of Plasma Waves in Various Space Plasma Environments

Session ID#: 248838

Session Description:
Plasma waves are ubiquitous in space — from the solar wind to the planetary magnetospheres, which are crucial to understanding plasma redistribution and energy transfer processes. Over the past few decades, the launch of various satellite missions, such as the Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, Juno, MAVEN, MMS, THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, Arase, and BepiColombo, has enabled us to explore the generation mechanisms and characteristics of plasma waves, as well as their impact throughout the heliosphere (e.g., the solar wind, Earth’s magnetosphere, and the magnetospheres of planets such as Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury). Additionally, the development of powerful computer simulations has also helped us to better understand the mechanisms of wave generation and evolution. This session calls for studies on the generation, evolution, and impact of plasma waves in various space plasma environments. Theoretical, modeling, and observational studies are welcome.
