Towards the Most Accurate Substorm Onset Timing: Methods and Accuracy

Researchers compare ways of identifying the onset of magnetospheric substorms and assess the timing accuracy of different observations.

The meeting considers auroral imaging, ground magnetometers, and in-situ and remote-sensing measurements. Participants discuss how onset signatures relate to each other and how more consistent timing could support tests of substorm theories. The detailed programme is still forthcoming.
