This session will explore the role of wave processes
in coupling the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and
thermosphere. Wave-related coupling phenomena of
interest to this session include those carrying energy
away from Earth (e.g. ion outflow, gravity/planetary
wave breaking, tides, terrestrial VLF sources), and
those carrying energy toward Earth (e.g. particle
precipitation, Earthward Poynting flux).
<br>
<br>
Of particular interest are studies bringing new
information to persistent problems (e.g., wave
transmission via density ducts, Joule heating
dynamics, thermospheric neutral gas wave dynamics),
and studies that set the stage for near-future
missions such as Geospace Dynamics Constellation
(GDC).<br>

Full session description:<br>
==============<br>
<br>
The magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere are
coupled via neutral gas, charged particles, and
electromagnetic fields across many spatial and
temporal scales. Now is an exciting time to study this
coupling as near- Earth space becomes more accessible,
physically via observations, and computationally by
faster, more capable models.<br>
<br>
Coupling phenomena include those carrying energy away
from Earth (ion outflow, gravity/planetary wave
breaking, tides, terrestrial VLF sources), and those
carrying energy toward Earth (particle precipitation,
Earthward Poynting flux). All these can be modulated
and/or mediated by a diverse set of waves.<br>
<br>
This session solicits observational, analytic, and
modeling studies of wave properties and dynamics as
they impact coupling between the magnetosphere,
ionosphere, and thermosphere. Of particular interest
are studies bringing new information to persistent
problems (e.g. wave transmission via density ducts,
Joule heating dynamics, thermospheric neutral gas wave
dynamics), and studies that set the stage for
near-future missions such as Geospace Dynamics
Constellation (GDC).</span><span
