Radiation Belt Storm Probes RBSP Review of Action Items from RBSP SWG Meeting Nicky Fox & Barry Mauk SWG Meeting Wrap-up Meeting Ideas • SWG thoughts on how this meeting worked. Improvements? – Post science discussion slides on the science web site • The next quarterly review meeting will either be “virtual” (i.e. just deliver slide packages) or web-based. Do we want to schedule an inperson meeting prior to mission CDR? – If so, what topics need to be discussed SWG Meeting Wrap-up Action Items • Teams to fill in data volume columns in data products table – Edit wording to show that these are estimates rather than concrete numbers • EFW to provide data catalogue definition – Rob to give guidance on this • Rules of the Road – Edit as discussed – Ensure that these rules are circulated to journal editors etc. • Data Levels – Project to provide updated version of slide shown at meeting including level descriptions and latency guidelines – Teams to revisit the data products tables and ensure that data are listed at the appropriate level – Draft definitions of “browse”, “quick-look” etc. – How do we clearly identify “not-for-publication” data versus full quality? – Topic for near-future SWG telecon • Science Data Portal – Michele to send presentation to John Bonnell SWG Meeting Wrap-up Action Items • Reprocessing – Make sure this is covered in the SDMP – Also address version control • Data sharing plans – Teams to revisit material presented at meeting and update if necessary – EFW were very thorough in their list of desires – other teams need to consider if any of these can be easily provided or are there other data products which could approximate the function? • Planning tools – What type of planning tools are desired? - Topic for future SWG telecon – Can we host these on the portal? – How far in advance to other teams need to know predictions for burst mode conjunctions in order to change planning.? • Collaboration with DSX and BARREL (and other missions) – Criteria for defining “conjunction” – Topic for future SWG telecon – Selection of magnetic field model to determine conjunctions – CooCoo – Action: For which other missions should we routinely produce conjunction “reports”? (e.g. NICE, THEMIS…..) SWG Meeting Wrap-up Action Items • What kind of simulations would we ideally want the modelers to run? – We need to define conditions and constraints • Draft a proposal to be submitted to TR&T steering committee for an RBSP science-related focus team (Dave S to lead) • Sasha to brief his slides on computation of adiabatic invariants to SWG • Evidence of ion acoustic signatures accompanying EMIC waves – John Bonnell to provide list of references to Peter Yoon • Look for electrostatic wave signatures with EMIC waves. SWG Meeting Wrap-up Action Items • How can we provide “moral” support for ground networks and ionospheric measurements? – White paper to highlight the relevance of these measurements to RBSP (Joe G to lead) – Assistance from Bob S., Elsayed, John Foster etc. • Invite John Foster to make presentation at next SWG meeting SWG Meeting Wrap-up Action Items • Redefine the term “success criteria” – Find another word for “mature” – From the “mature” science questions, define hypothesis that can be proved/disproved • Define predictions: – – – – – Specific observations Set of possible models (and conditions) to run Theoretical problems Data mining – where can RBSP go further? Work with modelers to ensure that data are in right format and resolution (and supporting data are available) • Develop “science operations plan” or “action plan” – can measure progress against this – Challenge each team – what science issues are you going to answer during the first year? • 2-3 most interesting science problems that you hope to address • Then get together and share plans SWG Meeting Wrap-up That’s all folks • Have a safe trip home SWG Meeting Wrap-up
