Measurement Techniques for Space Plasma
Measurement Techniques for Space Plasma
Session ID#: 122359
Session Description:
This session focuses on all aspects of novel measurement techniques and their applications in space plasmas. Rather than a general description of missions, abstracts for this session should focus on instrumentation and measurement techniques that enable new areas of science. Enabling technologies for a novel mission concept will also be welcomed if the abstract focuses on the technology aspects of the mission. The goal of this session is to stimulate discussion across disciplines and between generations on instrument technologies, and to give opportunities for education and future collaborations. The observation targets include any region of space where plasmas, partially ionized gases, and accelerated particles may be found, including the Sun, the Earth, planetary exospheres, interplanetary space, and the interstellar medium. Abstracts are solicited that investigate and develop instruments or supporting technologies for in-situ and remote sensing studies of particles and fields.
