ULRP Team teleconference, Mar 19, 2009

During today's telecom we discussed comparison of the DREAM and VERB results. Binbin Ni presented plots. We decided to continue working on comparison of plots and that it is beneficial to assimilate satellites with different errors. By assimilating satellites sequentially we can assign different errors to the satellite observation even when measurements are made at the same L-shells. We discussed results of simulations with different boundary conditions and decided to move the boundary outwards for VERB simulations.

Action items:

Binbin: double check that plots and data are consistent
Josef and Yue: email data used in the paper, check values of mu and J
Josef: email errors used for the study and the results of the reanalysis for the comparison.
Dmitri: move boundary to high L-shells, explore : 1) boundary at polar orbit, 2) boundary with losses, 3) flexible boundary
