An integral component of the multi-agency U.S. Global Change Research Program (Our Changing Planet," Committee on Earth Sciences, 1991) is understanding and modeling the geospace environment. As part of its contribution to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric Sciences has established a new research initiative, Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM), with the goal of supporting basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global geospace model with predictive capability. The subjects of the first GEM campaign are the magnetospheric boundary, the magnetosheath beyond it, and the connection from the boundary through the magnetosphere to the ionosphere. This grant is for support to model electron and ion distribution functions near and within the dayside magnetopause in order to identify key particle signatures of the magnetopause electric and magnetic fields. The codes prepared for this project will be made available for inclusion into the GEM program's Global Circulation Model.

由多个机构组成的美国全球变化研究计划(我们的地球变化研究计划，1991年成立的地球科学委员会)的一个组成部分是理解地球空间环境并对其进行建模。作为对美国全球变化研究计划的贡献的一部分，美国国家科学基金会大气科学部建立了一项新的研究计划-地球空间环境建模(GEM)，目的是支持对地球空间动力学和结构属性的基础研究，从而构建具有预测能力的全球地球空间模型。第一次GEM运动的主题是磁层边界、其外的磁鞘以及从边界通过磁层到电离层的连接。这笔赠款用于支持对日侧磁层顶附近和内部的电子和离子分布函数进行建模，以便确定磁层顶电场和磁场的关键粒子特征。为该项目编制的代码将被提供给全球创业板计划的全球循环模式。
