This proposal is requesting travel support for participants (including students, early career scientists, and invited speakers without the necessary financial means) to participate in a five-day Chapman Conference on Dayside Magnetosphere Interactions to be held in Chengdu, China on 10-14 July 2017. The conference is focused on open questions about the manner in which solar wind mass, momentum, and energy penetrate into the Earth's magnetosphere on its sunward-facing side. The underlying mechanisms are responsible for the development of space weather disturbances around Earth. The workshop is timely due, among other things, to the availability of a growing collection of multi-point observations from operating scientific satellites and new techniques for constructing global maps of electrodynamic parameters from both satellite arrays in low earth orbit and instrument networks on the ground. In addition, new insights are expected from comparing mechanisms for the penetration of solar wind plasma at Earth to those at other planets. An international workshop is particularly valuable for progress because many of the combined data sets are the result of international collaborations. Chapman conferences have a long history of successfully bringing together international researchers (and students) in a workshop style atmosphere to address open questions at scientific frontiers. Such an environment, which intermixes a wide variety of viewpoints and diverse participants, provides a known incubator for new and innovative approaches that have the potential for enabling breakthroughs. This environment is also a valuable educational experience for students and an opportunity for international networking. Following the meeting, proceedings will be published in a volume of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Geophysical Monograph Series, which is expected to document the state of the field in this scientific area.Only a few percent of the solar wind striking the Earth's magnetosphere actually penetrates through our magnetic barrier. However, this small amount is responsible for the development of dangerous space weather disturbances throughout Geospace and the upper atmosphere. Understanding the manner by which this penetration occurs will lead to improved forecasting of space weather disturbances and help to address a national priority focused on protecting and/or mitigating damage to critical space-vulnerable societal infrastructures.

该提案请求为参与者（包括学生、早期职业科学家和没有必要经济能力的受邀演讲者）提供差旅支持，以参加将于 7 月 10 日至 14 日在中国成都举行的为期五天的查普曼日侧磁层相互作用会议2017 年。会议重点讨论有关太阳风质量、动量和能量如何渗透到地球朝阳一侧磁气层的方式的悬而未决的问题。 其根本机制是造成地球周围空间天气扰动发展的原因。 这次研讨会是及时的，除其他外，由于运行科学卫星提供了越来越多的多点观测数据，以及从近地轨道卫星阵列和地面仪器网络构建全球电动力参数图的新技术。此外，通过比较地球上太阳风等离子体与其他行星上的太阳风等离子体的穿透机制，预计可以获得新的见解。 国际研讨会对于取得进展特别有价值，因为许多组合数据集都是国际合作的结果。查普曼会议有着悠久的历史，成功地将国际研究人员（和学生）聚集在研讨会式的氛围中，解决科学前沿的开放性问题。这样的环境混合了各种各样的观点和不同的参与者，为有潜力实现突破的新的和创新的方法提供了一个众所周知的孵化器。 这种环境对于学生来说也是宝贵的教育经历和国际交流的机会。 会议结束后，会议记录将在美国地球物理联盟 (AGU) 地球物理专着系列中出版，预计将记录该科学领域的领域状况。只有百分之几的太阳风撞击地球磁层实际上穿透了我们的磁屏障。 然而，这一小量却导致了整个地球空间和高层大气中危险的空间天气扰动的发展。 了解这种渗透发生的方式将有助于改进对太空天气扰动的预报，并有助于解决侧重于保护和/或减轻对关键的太空脆弱社会基础设施的损害的国家优先事项。
