While the Earth’s magnetospheric response to southward IMF (-Bz) conditions is relatively well understood, the same cannot be said for the drastically different case of northward IMF (+Bz). Northward IMF dynamics have been associated with distinctive auroral signatures where aurora occur inside the main oval, including transpolar arcs, horse collar auroras, cusp-aligned arcs and long-duration cusp-spots. Our current understanding of these phenomena suggests they are indicative of magneto-plasma interactions in the magnetosphere.However, many open questions remain including the role of high latitude dayside magnetic reconnection in closing magnetospheric flux, the impacts of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and diffusive processes along the magnetotail flanks.Discussions on these aurora features, high-latitude magnetopause interactions, alongside those in the magnetotail and the dayside magnetosphere, are within the scope of this meeting when related to northward IMF conditions. This Specialist Discussion Meeting will provide a formal platform to share our current understanding of the magnetosphere under northward IMF. The meeting will consist of presentations in the morning, followed by a structured discussion session in the afternoon. Thus, providing a forum to share our current understanding and engage with diverse perspectives across the field. This will enable us to identify gaps in our collective knowledge, share ideas to maximise impacts of SMILE data, and establish collaborations for future research avenues and opportunities.Schedule: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e6f9da60-42f9-11f1-b649-77d382fb3d5c-rimg-w1200-h731-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg Organisers:Dr Gemma E Bower, University of LeicesterNawapat Kaweeyanun, University of SouthamptonDr Mooney Michaela, University of LeicesterJade Reidy, British Antarctic SurveyPhoto Credit: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Smile/Smile_factsheet2ESA - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/sdm-earths-magnetosphere-under-northward-imf-|-non-fellow-ticket/100001500227283189 - **Event Categories**: meetups, business, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.13, max: 16.96, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Royal Astronomical Society - **lat**: 51.5085836 - **long**: -0.13938120000000254 - **full address**: The Royal Astronomical Society, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SDM: Earth's Magnetosphere Under Northward IMF | Non-Fellow Ticket - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/91d525ac91beed270303e01097b67b034d3ca473751965a50c8cddde42e1bab4-rimg-w940-h470-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1777385920 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SDM: Earth's Magnetosphere Under Northward IMF | Non-Fellow Ticket being held? - **A:** SDM: Earth's Magnetosphere Under Northward IMF | Non-Fellow Ticket takes place on Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 10:00 am to Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 03:35 pm at The Royal Astronomical Society, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing SDM: Earth's Magnetosphere Under Northward IMF | Non-Fellow Ticket? - **A:** SDM: Earth's Magnetosphere Under Northward IMF | Non-Fellow Ticket is organized by Royal Astronomical Society. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
