This is a travel support for students, and some senior researchers from less developed countries, along with a small contribution to supplies and publication costs for a five-day international conference on geomagnetic substorm research. This meeting entitled, "International Conference on Substorms (ICS13)" will be held in Portsmouth, New Hampshire during 24-29 September 2017. The ICS13 will be the 13th in a series of carefully-designed substorm conferences that build on past advances while incorporating the latest new development. The venue is aimed at creating a forum to bring together a worldwide cadre of substorm researchers (and students) to focus their combined talents as well as theoretical and observational assets on accelerating progress towards a fundamental understanding of substorm physics. Such an environment, which intermixes a wide variety of viewpoints and diverse participants, provides a known incubator for new and innovative approaches that have the potential for enabling breakthroughs. This environment is also a valuable educational experience for students and an opportunity for international networking. The dates for the workshop were selected so that scientific team meetings for several operating scientific missions making relevant measurements might be organized to overlap with the conference. As many as 150 participants are anticipated with an estimated 35 participants requiring travel support - half of this participant support is requested from NSF, the other half from NASA. Following the event, a peer-reviewed conference proceedings will be published in an open-access, electronic-only periodical to enable broad dissemination of the results.Geomagnetic substorms, the topical focus of the conference, are explosive energy releases in geospace that have disruptive consequences in regions from near-Earth space, where weather, communications and national security satellites orbit; to the underlying upper atmosphere and ionosphere, where associated mega-ampere currents flow endangering vulnerable assets both in low-earth orbit and on the ground. There is even evidence to suggest that effects of this disruption may penetrate into the middle atmosphere through chemical-dynamical processes with potential, but so-far elusive, effects on ozone and climate variability. The triggers of these explosive energy releases are still not fully resolved and debates over the underlying mechanisms fuel one of the most long-lived controversies in geospace research. The complicated nature of the phenomenon and the associated difficult progress toward understanding are creating impediments to developing modeling and predictive capabilities, a situation that highlights the importance of international workshops for focusing global knowledge towards a resolution.

这是为学生和一些来自欠发达国家的高级研究人员提供的旅费支助，沿着一小笔捐款，用于为期五天的地磁亚暴研究国际会议的用品和出版费用。 本次会议题为“亚暴国际会议（ICS 13）”将于2017年9月24日至29日在新罕布什尔州的朴茨茅斯举行。 ICS 13将是一系列精心设计的亚风暴会议中的第13届，这些会议以过去的进展为基础，同时结合了最新的发展。 该场地旨在创建一个论坛，汇集世界各地的亚暴研究人员（和学生），集中他们的综合才能以及理论和观测资产，加速对亚暴物理学的基本理解。 这样一种环境混合了各种各样的观点和不同的参与者，为有可能实现突破的新的创新办法提供了一个众所周知的孵化器。 这种环境也是学生的宝贵教育经验和国际网络的机会。 讲习班的日期是这样选定的，以便为进行相关测量的几个实际科学飞行任务组织科学小组会议，使之与会议重叠。 预计将有多达150名参与者，估计有35名参与者需要差旅支持-其中一半的参与者支持来自NSF，另一半来自NASA。 会议结束后，将在一份开放获取、仅限电子版的期刊上发表一份经同行审查的会议记录，以便广泛传播会议成果，会议的专题重点是地磁亚暴，它是地球空间的爆炸性能量释放，对近地空间各区域产生破坏性后果，气象、通信和国家安全卫星在近地空间运行;这一系统可能会对下层高层大气和电离层产生影响，因为在那里流动的相关兆安培电流会危及低地轨道和地面上的脆弱资产。 甚至有证据表明，这种干扰的影响可能通过化学动力学过程渗透到中层大气，对臭氧和气候变异产生潜在的影响，但迄今为止还难以预测。 这些爆炸性能量释放的触发因素尚未完全解决，关于潜在机制的争论引发了地球空间研究中最持久的争议之一。 这一现象的复杂性以及相关的理解困难阻碍了建模和预测能力的发展，这种情况突出了国际研讨会对集中全球知识解决问题的重要性。
