<p class="MsoNormal">Neutral Wind Dynamics and Coupling Between the Thermosphere and Ionosphere in the Low- and Mid-Latitude Regions<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Workshop Description:<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ionosphere and thermosphere compose a dynamic, nonlinear and closely coupled system. Changes in thermospheric neutral winds, temperature, and composition have profound effects on both regions via momentum, chemical, and energy coupling.
This session focuses on recent advances in understanding thermospheric and ionospheric structures and variability on various spatial and temporal scales during both disturbed and quiet conditions as a result of different driving forces. Particular emphasis
will be placed on neutral winds, including their observations, modeling, and role in ionosphere-thermosphere variability. Model-data comparisons of various ionospheric and thermospheric parameters that explore the role of neutral and plasma dynamics and structure
are welcome. The session will also address thermospheric wind climatology, including variations on global and local scales, with solar cycle, seasonal, and diurnal time scales. We invite presentations based on observations, modeling, and data assimilation
techniques of driver specifications and forecasting. <o:p></o:p></p>
