Circulation of Heavy Ions and their Role in Regulating the Near-Earth Plasma Dynamics

Session ID#: 158575

Session Description:
The presence of heavy ions in the near-Earth environment has a profound impact on the global magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) structure and dynamics and has an essential role in regulating various magnetospheric processes. This session seeks to engage scientists from the fields of solar, ionospheric, and magnetospheric physics and solicits observational, theoretical, and modeling studies focusing on (1) statistical surveys of existing data sets to obtain information about the properties, evolution, and sources of heavy-ions and controlling factors for heavy-ions circulation including lower (He , N , O , He 2 and O 2) and higher (C n, N n, O n and Fe n) charge states, and the molecular ions (NO , N2 , and O2 ) in the magnetosphere-ionospheric system (2) studies that quantify effects of heavy-ions in altering the wave-particle interaction to better understand the magnetospheric mechanisms related to wave dynamics (3) theoretical models, numerical simulations, and data-analysis studies of the impact of heavy-ions in regulating the near-Earth dynamics (4) measurement concepts for future space-flight instrumentation that can measure the properties of the heavy-ions in near-Earth plasma environment (5) new mission concepts focusing on science that would be enabled by measurements of heavy-ions, especially the minor ions.
