Communications coordination for the Geospace Environment Modeling Program

地球空间环境建模方案是一个基础广泛的社区发起的研究方案，研究地球磁层物理学以及磁层与大气层和太阳风的耦合。 全球地球观测系统的工作是通过一系列活动和重点小组来完成的，这些活动和小组解决了导致建立具有预测能力的全球地球空间大气环流模型的具体问题。该项目确保了GEM在未来5年内继续在地球空间科学界发挥重要作用所需的高效通信和全面存档。该项目提供全球环境监测系统活动的档案，供科学家和学生现在和将来查阅，并维持一个在线论坛，供交流信息和协调方案活动。 最后，该项目为研究人员、学生和公众提供了获取介绍近地空间环境最新知识的教程和其他教育资源的机会。全球监测机制有一名通信协调员，以确保社区内健康的信息流动，并维持方案活动的档案。该项目将按照全球监测机制章程所述准则，为2009年开始的下一任全球监测机制通信协调员执行任务。这些任务分为以下四类：（a）电子通讯《全球环境监测信使》;（B）全球环境监测石年度报告（包括特别报告）;（c）全球环境监测网站GemWiki;（d）全球环境监测数据目录。

The Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Program is a broad-based, community-initiated research program on the physics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The work of GEM is accomplished in a series of campaigns and focus groups that solve specific problems leading to the construction of a global Geospace General Circulation Model (GGCM) with predictive capability. This project ensures the efficient communications and comprehensive archiving that GEM needs to continue its vital role in the geospace science community for the next 5 years. The project provides archives of GEM activities that are accessible by the scientists and students today and in the future and maintains an online forum for information exchange and coordination of activities in the program. Finally, the project provides access for researchers, students, and the general public to tutorials and other educational resources present the most updated knowledge about the near-Earth space environment. GEM has a communications coordinator to ensure healthy information flows within the community and to maintain an archive of the program's activities. This project performs the tasks for the next GEM Communications Coordinator starting from 2009, following the guidelines described in the GEM bylaws. The tasks fall into the following four categories: (a) the electronic newsletter GEM Messenger, (b) the annual GEMstone reports (including special reports), (c) the GEM website GemWiki, and (d) the GEM Data Catalog.
