Call for Papers: Special Issue of Earth, Planets and Space (EPS) 'Physical Processes in Non-Uniform Finite Magnetospheric Systems—50 Years of Tamao's Resonant Mode Coupling Theory—'
The resonant mode coupling of MHD waves is one of the most fundamental processes in space science and has become an important concept for understanding almost all aspects of ULF waves. Prof. Tamao (Professor Emeritus, Univ. Tokyo, 1931–2010) was a pioneer in this area and he theoretically investigated the field-line resonance in a series of papers he published starting in 1961, a decade before the phenomenon was confirmed observationally. The study he published in 1965 in Science Reports of the Tohoku University, Series 5, Geophysics, is now widely available. In this study he mathematically formulated the field-line resonance as a coupled oscillation of Alfven and fast magnetosonic modes in a dipole field geometry. The workshop celebrating the 50th year of Tamao’s resonant mode coupling theory was successfully held in 2011 at Fukuoka. This workshop covers not only the resonant mode coupled theory of the ULF waves but also other 3 topics to which Prof. Tamao had many important contributions. The all topics and their targets are as follows; ULFwave: This topic is focused on the coupled resonance oscillation theory, observational proof of the coupled oscillation, and resent progress of these topics
