We invite you to submit your manuscripts and learn more about this topic at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/60115/variability-in-the-solar-wind-and-its-impact-on-the-coupled-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere-system. Please note that the Manuscript Summary's nominal submission deadline is on November 14, 2023, and the Manuscript itself should be submitted by March 13, 2024. This research topic aims to bring together research from different aspects of the Space Weather domain to highlight how solar wind variability governs energy flow through the heliosphere. It includes three main sub-topics (see https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/60115/variability-in-the-solar-wind-and-its-impact-on-the-coupled-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere-system): Properties of solar wind structures from the Sun to the magnetosphere. This subsection is dedicated to the various properties of solar wind fluctuations, including their origin, propagation, and evolution from the Sun to the Earth's magnetosphere. Mechanisms governing the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. This subsection aims to explore various processes that govern the interaction between solar wind structures and the Earth's magnetosphere. Effects of solar wind structures on the ionosphere, thermosphere and human infrastructure. This subsection aims to assess the potential consequences of solar wind fluctuations and their magnetospheric responses on the ionosphere, thermosphere, critical infrastructure and humans, with an emphasis on understanding how these fluctuations could impact various aspects of human life and infrastructure. We welcome and encourage contributions to this research topic from diverse research approaches, including theoretical analyses, observational data from ground-based and space-based instruments, and advances in numerical simulations. Combining these methods can offer a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of solar wind structures and their impact on the coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere system, ultimately improving our ability to predict develop mitigation strategies and prepare for extreme space weather events.

They address science from the mesosphere to the topside ionosphere and from fundamental plasma physics to space weather research. Recent years have seen advances in operations, technology and data processing that provides a view of an exciting future to come. Coordinated science programmes have meant that global scale questions can be answered with global scale data thanks to the World Day programme. ISR take measurements in conjunction with satellite operations to tackle long-standing problems in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Phased Array designs have emerged, providing greater flexibility and increased data. The most recent advancement is the EISCAT-3D radar, which replaces the traditional dishes on mainland Fennoscandia. This will provide unprecedented, multi scale views of the auroral ionosphere with vast quantities of high-resolution data. The extensive archives of data from the ISR network alongside the new high-resolution data provides opportunities for applying new ways of visualizing and analysing, with lessons to be learnt from related disciplines. The nature of the data may be ripe for analysis with machine learning and other AI techniques. This session welcomes contributions on all aspects of ISR science. In particular we encourage presentations on new capabilities, data handling and analysis techniques that can be applied to ISR data. Coordinated multi-instrument studies and plans for future operations are also welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions Your Sincerely Andrew J.

For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit: https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp Session Description: AS60- Remote and In-situ Sensing and Modelling of the Chemistry and Dynamics of the Middle and Upper Atmosphere The Earth's middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere maintain a balance between solar radiative and particle forcing from above, and the action of atmospheric waves rising up from below. Quantifying how these forces drive the general circulation and waves in the atmosphere and control both the chemical balance and its temporal and spatial variability is crucial to understanding how composition, momentum, and energy couple together and structure the atmosphere and ionosphere. As a result, remote sensing and in-situ investigations, as well as the laboratory and modelling studies that complement and explain these observations, are the primary tools used to understand the aeronomy of this region. This session will look at recent results from those ground-based, in-situ and satellite-borne observations, modelling studies and relevant laboratory research. It will bring together studies of new sensing techniques and sensors, models and mission concepts, currently being planned or under development, to foster new collaborations, furthering the impact of their integrated results on our understanding of the stratosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere/thermosphere. The meeting will be held in-person from June 23rd to 28th 2024. Abstract submissions are open and due January 2nd 2024. For details on the AOGS Meeting and abstract submission, please visit https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp We hope that you can accept our call to contribute a paper to our session and look forward to meeting you in South Korea at the 21st AOGS2024.

Thank you!* The UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) is pleased to announce that the NASA Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is seeking applications for its 2024 appointments. The fellowship program attracts the best and the brightest PhDs in the interdisciplinary science of heliophysics. Find out more here and apply here by January 26, 2024. [image: JackEddy-2024-1920x1080.jpg] Sponsored by the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) program, this fellowship is designed to train the next generation of researchers in the emerging interdisciplinary field of Heliophysics. Heliophysics embraces all science aspects of the Sun-Solar System, and includes many of the basic physical processes found in our solar system, the laboratory, and throughout the universe. These processes generally involve the interactions of ionized gases (plasmas) with electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and to some extent with neutral matter. The physical domain of interest ranges from deep inside the Sun to the beginning of interstellar medium as well as planetary atmospheres including Earth's upper atmosphere. Within this broad science discipline, LWS is a program designed to develop the scientific understanding required for the nation to address effectively those aspects of the Sun-Earth system that affect life and society. Two major topics of focus for LWS are the science of space weather and of the Sun-climate connection. Preference will be given to applicants whose proposed research addresses one of these two foci; but any research program - especially interdisciplinary research - relevant to LWS will be considered. Since the goal of this postdoctoral program is to train Sun-Earth system researchers, preference is also given to research projects that cross the traditional Heliophysics subdomains of the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, and ionosphere/upper atmosphere, as well as Sun-climate investigations. Therefore, proposals addressing the LWS program that are interdisciplinary in nature will be given preference. In order to succeed at such cross-disciplinary research, the host mentoring scientist plays a critical role. Consequently, applicants must select a host scientist, who is different from the candidate?s PhD advisor (preferably at a different institution), and coordinate a joint application with the potential host scientist and institution. See our flyer here . Please go here for more information on the fellowship and how to apply .

ST3.6: Thermospheric variability and coupling dynamics due to sources above and below https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/49740 Abstract: As a boundary region between Earth?s dense atmosphere and space, the thermosphere experiences a vast range of forcing from both terrestrial and space-borne sources. Geomagnetic storms and coupling to the magnetosphere deposits energy via the ionosphere and heats the thermosphere, drastically changing its composition and launching atmospheric waves which propagate globally. Meteorological activity, atmospheric instabilities and energetic lithospheric events can generate intense gravity waves which propagate upwards, manifesting in the ionosphere/thermosphere as TIDs/TADs. These mechanisms can then interact which each other, resulting in a vast and variable region of mingling dynamics that can impact both satellite and communication technologies. The dynamics which characterize this region can be measured and derived by different type of sources, such as satellites flying at different altitudes or ground-based observatories. This session solicits presentations that highlight and study the variability of the thermosphere system, including its density, temperature, winds, structure, and coupling to the ionosphere, from forcing sources located both above and below this region. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some of the outstanding scientific questions within atmospheric and space physics, are: 1. How are different atmospheric layers coupled in the polar regions? 2. How does the upper polar atmosphere, i.e., mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere, respond to increased geomagnetic activity, including energy transfer from space? 3. How does the whole polar atmosphere impact short- and long-term climate variations? Answering these questions will not only have implications on the understanding of processes in the polar atmosphere, but it will also greatly improve our understanding of the global atmospheric dynamics. We welcome contributions that help to answer the outstanding scientific questions related to the whole-atmosphere coupling, space weather influences and whole atmosphere response to climate change. We also welcome presentation and discussion of existing and planned instrumentation at high-latitudes and space-borne sensors.

Graham had been retired from the University of Sheffield since 2007, but his legacy and influence have continued in the well-recognized and often used Sheffield University Plasmasphere-Ionosphere Model (SUPIM). This model was the forerunner to most ionospheric models that are used today, including those that are coupled to the neutral atmosphere and the magnetosphere. Back in the days when FORTRAN ruled and a successful overnight run on the computer was a major success, Graham and the group at Sheffield developed codes to follow convecting flux tubes of plasma at low and middle latitudes, which included interhemispheric coupling in the topside. Among the first to include continuity, momentum and energy equations, this modeling capability was used extensively and led to long-term and productive collaborations with groups in Arecibo, INPE, the University of Texas at Dallas and others around the world. Graham?s modeling efforts supported many graduate research projects around the world and his work describing the distribution of He+ at middle latitudes and the effects of adiabatic heating and cooling in the topside ionosphere are still cited today as the foundations for future study. Graham was a traditional and straightforward Yorkshireman; not afraid to share his opinion and always willing to share his work. He will be missed, but his legacy will remain in the computational methodologies that he started more than 50 years ago and are still in use today.

Abstract submission: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/49723 (the deadline is Wednesday, 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET) ST4.4 - Nowcasting, forecasting, operational monitoring and post-event analysis of the space weather and space climate in the Sun-Earth system Session details: Space Weather (SW) and Space Climate (SC) are collective terms that describe the Sun-Earth system interactions on timescales varying between minutes and decades and include processes at the Sun, in the heliosphere, magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere and at the lower atmosphere. Prediction of the extreme events (forecast and nowcast) and development of the mitigation strategy are vital as the space assets and critical infrastructures, such as communication and navigation systems, power grids, and aviation, are all extremely sensitive to the external environment. A post-event analysis is crucially important for the development and maintenance of numerical models, which can predict extreme SW events to avoid the failure of critical infrastructures. This session aims to address both the current state of the art of SW products and new ideas and developments that can enhance the understanding of SW and SC and their impact on critical infrastructure. We invite presentations on various SW and SC-related activities in the Sun-Earth system: forecast and nowcast products and services; satellite observations; model development, validation, and verification; data assimilation; development and production of geomagnetic and ionospheric indices. Contributions to a cross-discipline and collaborative approach that supports and advances our understanding of SW and SC are encouraged. Talks on SW effects on applications (e.g. on airlines, pipelines and power grids, space flights, auroral tourism, etc.) in the Earth?s environment are also welcomed. Confirmed invited speaker Anja Str?mme (ESA's Swarm Mission Manager, ESRIN) will be delivering a talk on the status of the Swarm mission after 10 years in orbit, dedication to space weather, and the future direction of the mission. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and thank you very much for your attention.

We cordially invite presentations at session ST 18 entitled ?Causal Factors in Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillations? at the 21st AOGS 2024 meeting, which will be held in Pyeonchang, Gangwon-do, South Korea, 23-28 June 2024. The abstract submission deadline is 2 January, 2024. For more information please visit https://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2024/public.asp?page=home.asp Session Description: ST 18: Causal Factors in Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillations Ionospheric irregularities and scintillations have been observed within the auroral oval and polar cap at high latitude and near dusk at low-latitude, and these scintillations have been shown to affect radio frequency (RF) wave propagation and satellite communication. However, the exact mechanism(s) and quantitative causal factors that give rise to electron irregularities (scale size, density, and temperature) such as electric fields, plasma drift, neutral winds, and particle precipitation and their relationship to scintillations remains poorly understood. This session solicits papers on the causes of ionospheric electron irregularities and scintillations and how they impact satellite and radio communications.
