Chapman Conference on Micro and Meso Scale Phenomena in Space Physics

空间物理微细和中尺度现象查普曼会议请拨资金，以支持研究生和新近的博士候选人出席AGU查普曼空间等离子体微细和中尺度现象会议。查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联盟(AGU)主办的专题会议，旨在促进通常通过大型会议形式无法获得的机会。这次会议的统一主题是微观和中观尺度过程之间的界面以及相关的理论和模型。这一统一主题总体上对磁层物理非常重要，如等离子体重联(然后处理边界层中的中尺度过程)的MHD流体模型与定量处理大多数重联模型所需的异常耗散(微观过程)所需的动力学、波-粒子相互作用物理的主要例子所示。这些过程将包括随机和准线性过程，以及在波动、非平衡、无碰撞、碰撞和湍流空间等离子体中发生的非线性波-粒子相互作用。这次会议将有助于确保下一代空间物理学家将精通这一复杂而又至关重要的空间物理领域。

Chapman Conference on Micro and Meso Scale Phenomena in Space Physics Funds are requested to support the attendance of graduate students and recent doctorate candidates at the AGU Chapman Conference on Micro and Meso Scale Phenomena in Space Plasmas. Chapman Conferences are topical meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and are designed to promote opportunities not normally available through the format of larger meetings. The unifying theme for this conference is the interface between micro and meso scale processes and associated theory and modeling. This unifying theme is very important to magnetospheric physics generally as illustrated in the prime example of MHD fluid models for plasma reconnection (then treating meso-scale processes in boundary layers) vs. kinetic, wave-particle interaction physics needed to quantitatively treat the anomalous dissipation required by most reconnection models (the micro process). The proceedings will encompass stochastic and quasilinear processes and nonlinear wave-particle interactions occurring in fluctuating, nonequilibrium, collisionless, collisional and turbulent space plasmas. The conference will help to assur that the upcoming generation of space physicists will be well versed in this complex, yet vital area of space physics.
