Information - C1.1 Advances in Low- and Mid-latitude Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Ionosphere Studies

Event Information

The objective of the proposed session is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion related to recent advances in the field of low- and mid-latitude mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere from observational (ground-based and space-borne), theoretical and simulation studies. Contributions related to all aspects in this area are welcome. Some of the topics for the session include: coupling between the lower and upper atmosphere; mesospheric, thermospheric, and ionospheric processes; long- and short-period variability; ionospheric irregularities and scintillations; prediction of equatorial spread-F (ESF); storm and substorm effects; latitudinal and /or longitudinal variability; effects of severe space weather events; novel observational techniques. The session will include both invited and contributed (oral and poster) papers.
