Report - ST20 Coupling between the middle atmosphere and thermosphere/ionosphere on Earth and other planets or moons (co-listed in PS)
Report
Session ST20 - Coupling between the middle atmosphere and thermosphere/ionosphere on Earth and other planets or moons (co-listed in PS) - took place in lecture room 15 on Tuesday, 26 April from 9:15 to 10:00 and was convened by J. Oberheide and J.-S. Wang. The session was co-sponsored by PS.
It was a rather small session with five submitted abstracts. Time for three oral presentations was allocated and two posters were presented in the afternoon. The solicited paper by Wang focussed on comparative aeronomy and discussed vertical coupling processes in the Martian atmosphere. Another solicited paper by Preusse et al. discussed vertical coupling by gravity waves using data from three different satellites and model simulations. Oberheide et al. gave a talk on the mesospheric surf zone and its link to mesospheric inversion layers.
The poster by Winkler et al. discussed the development of the OH* airglow layer during the Halloween storm using model results and satellite data. Bence et al. presented a poster on neutral density fluctuations in San Marco V data and their interpretation in terms of dynamical instability.
Considering the disappointing small number of submitted abstracts, the attendance was rather satisfactory (about 25). In order to make the session more attractive in the future, it is currently being considered to emphasize the role of the Sun and its variability on Earth's atmosphere in the next session description.
