Project SPeCIMEN
(Specification and Prediction of
the Coupled Inner-Magnetospheric Environment)


Schedule outline:
The team will aim to have 2 in-person meetings per year for the duration of the SPeCIMEN scientific program, 2014-2018. One meeting will be a dedicated project meeting, and the other will be attached to an already existing meeting, that a large proportion of the SPeCIMEN team is already planning to attend.

Timetable:
The program is divided up into 4 broad phases, each phase corresponding roughly with each year of the program, but with obvious overlap. The general theme of each phase of the project is as follows:
Phase 1 (2014): Improvement of predictive modelling and parallel development of theoretical models
Phase 2 (2015): Fusion of predictive and physical models
Phase 3 (2016): Comparison and incorporation of multiple data streams
Phase 4 (2017-end): Feedback and refinement
