We announce and present some preliminary results of the Plasmasphere-Magnetoshere Interactions (PMI) focus group's modeling challenge. As one of over a dozen active focus groups of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) program that is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the GEM PMI focus group concentrates on how magnetospheric processes are regulated by plasmaspheric dynamics (and vice versa). The goal of the PMI challenge is to assess the performance of a representative set of GEM community models in reproducing key plasmaspheric density and wave observations. Two events were chosen for the PMI challenge, one disturbed interval and one quiet interval: (1) a moderate storm on 9-10 June 2001, and (2) a quiet interval of recovery and flux tube refilling during February 2001. Several quantitative metrics will be used to rate model performance with an overall score, and with second-tier metric scores versus space and time (or storm phase) that reveal areas of best and worst model performance in capturing key physical processes. Participation in this ongoing effort is invited from the entire space physics community.
