Development of an auroral substorm(Akasofu, Planet. Space Sci., 1964)

Over the half century since the ﬁrst ﬁnding of the auroral
substorm by Akasofu (1964), auroral and magnetosphericsubstorm has been one of the main topics for the scientists
in space physics. Not only giving the spectacular auroral
view, substorm contains various fundamental processes ofplasma acceleration and dissipation in the magnetosphereand the ionosphere. Recent satellite missions of THEMIS
and Van Allen Probes as well as several modeling eﬀorts are
giving more insights into the relationship between themid-tail plasma sheet and the inner magnetosphere andthe relationship between substorms and storms. Extended
ground imager, radar, and magnetometer arrays provide
more complex dynamical features of the magnetosphere
during subtorms.
During ICS-12 we are going to highlight the most recent
results in substorm research. Topical sessions may coversubstorm processes in the tail, interaction between the tailand the inner magnetosphere and ionosphere, substorm
currents and its dynamics, and the role of substorm in
geospace energetics, as well as the role of MHD and kinetic
instabilities in substorms. Other substorm-related
researches are also welcomed, such as storm-substorm
relationship, ULF/ELF/VLF waves, and non-Earthsubstorm-like features. Ample opportunity will be given for
discussions on the new results.

The area around the venue is in the Ise-Shima National Parkon the Shima Peninsula. In the national park, there arenumerous historical and interesting places including the Ise
Grand Shrine (Ise jingu). Ise Jingu is one of the most sacred
Shinto shrine in Japan. Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestral
goddess of the Imperial Family, was enshrined 2000 years
ago, and has been worshiped by the successive emperors.
