<p class="MsoNormal">This Grand Challenge Workshop is working toward establishing the necessary measurements, theory, and modeling of the neutral gas and plasma to address a broad class of processes in the 80-200 km region. To provide focus, the MLT-X Workshop
 addresses two processes that have profound effects on planetary atmospheres on Earth, as well as other planetary atmospheres; 1) Plasma-neutral atmospheric coupling and 2) wave-induced transport and turbulence. See workshop description at

<p class="MsoNormal">This four-year, GC Workshop is in its third year. The focus of this year&#8217;s workshop is to consider the necessary modeling capabilities to address the science questions and investigate the existing and planned instrumentation, facilities,
 and campaigns to advance the science goals of the MLT-X region. Therefore, a range of speakers covering modeling capability, modeling limitations, and modeling development are solicited. However, there is also interest in continuing discussions from past workshops
 on MLT-X instrumentation and observations with time built-in for community input about future campaign prospects and collaborations to advance the science.<o:p></o:p></p>
