Abstract

A long‐standing gap in grass roots organization activity in the solar‐terrestrial physics field has been filled by SHINE, an acronym for Solar Heliospheric INterplanetary Environment. SHINE complements its well‐established sister organizations, GEM (Geospace Environment Modeling) and CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions).Together these groups reflect the interests of the three subsections of AGU s Space Physics and Aeronomy Section: Solar and Heliospheric Physics, Magnetospheric Physics, and Aeronomy, respectively. SHINE held its first stand‐alone workshop, SHINE 99, in Boulder,Colorado, on June 14–17, simultaneously with the CEDAR workshop in Boulder and one week before the GEM workshop in Snowmass, Colorado. Joint sessions between the three groups were held on June 18 and June 19 in Boulder. Like the GEM and CEDAR workshops, SHINE 99 was sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Support for SHINEs members, however, is broadbased, reflecting the fact that it is a community‐wide organization.
