The underlying objective of the GEM program is a understand the structure and dynamics of the terrestrial plasma environment to such a degree that a global model of this environment with predictive capabilities can be constructive. This objective is to be accomplished through a series of focussed campaigns, the first of which concentrated on the coupling of the solar wind to the magnetopause, its boundary layers and the ionosphere. The proposed effort is to coordinate this campaign through workshops, newsletters and various collaborative studies. At the present level of support the efforts of about 70 researchers are being coordinated with the assistance of two other coordinators. As a result of these efforts, we will reach a significantly improved understanding of how the solar wind supplies energy to the magnetosphere. This improved understanding is important for the operations of our increasingly sophisticated technological systems which much operate in this environment.

GEM 计划的根本目标是了解地球等离子体环境的结构和动态，以便建立具有预测能力的全球模型具有建设性。 这一目标将通过一系列有针对性的活动来实现，其中第一个活动集中于太阳风与磁层顶、其边界层和电离层的耦合。 拟议的工作是通过研讨会、新闻通讯和各种合作研究来协调这项活动。 在目前的支持水平上，大约 70 名研究人员的努力正在另外两名协调员的协助下得到协调。 通过这些努力，我们将显着提高对太阳风如何向磁层提供能量的了解。 这种加深的理解对于我们日益复杂的技术系统的运行非常重要，而这些技术系统大多在这种环境下运行。
