<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><font face="Verdana" size="2">The session description is pasted below:</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="background:white"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Even though a considerable amount of research effort has been focused on exploring and understanding the complex coupling dynamics between the high latitude ionosphere
and thermosphere over the past two decades, it is still one of the long-standing challenges of global space weather research. Both the large-scale and small-scale responses of the thermosphere and ionosphere to geospace drivers are still poorly characterized
observationally. Furthermore, current understanding of thermosphere-ionosphere climate is immature, particularly with respect to mechanisms for long-term changes. Empirical and assimilative modeling efforts show inconsistencies among observations and between
observations and first-principle models. Well calibrated observations and better validated models will be needed to address these problems. This workshop aims to address these challenges by fostering collaborative efforts among present and future research
activities. </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="background:white"><font face="Verdana" size="2"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><font face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="background:white">We invite short presentations of data analysis (ground-based and space-based) and modeling (data assimilation and physics-based) efforts on high latitude thermosphere-ionosphere
variability and coupling. </span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34); background:white">If you are interested in contributing to this session, please send an email to Manbharat Dhadly (</span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="background:white"><a href="mailto:manbharat.dhadly.ctr@nrl.navy.mil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">manbharat.dhadly.ctr@nrl.navy.mil</a></span></span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34); background:white">).</span></font></p>
