Plasma Structures and Turbulence (PSAT) Thursday 20 June 2002 Apache Group 03:30-05:30 pm

Current speakers include:
	Y. Dimant		P. Erikson		G. Milikh		F. Lind
	M. Oppenheim		J. Retterer		A. Streltsov		E. Mishin

We plan to discuss observations and theory/modeling of PSAT in the ionosphere focusing on their effects in the momentum and energy transfer in the M-I system. Possible topics of discussion will include (but are not limited to):

1. Signatures of PSAT in the perturbed ionosphere;
   
   
2. Plasma turbulence effects in the dynamics and energy balance in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system;
   
   
3. Plasma turbulence and structures in storm time subauroral (SAPS/SAR arcs) and equatorial (plasma bubbles) phenomena;
   
   
4. Recent achievements in explaining the formation of ionosphere plasma irregularities.
   
   

The invited speakers will present a concise assessment of different aspects of PSAT in the ionosphere (for 75% of the total workshop time), which will be followed by discussion.

Everyone interested in these problems, which may be less familiar to the CEDAR community, are welcome to participate.
