<div><b>Session Description: </b></div>
<div>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.
<p>Coupling phenomena include those carrying energy away from
Earth (ion outflow, gravity/planetary wave breaking, 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. </p>
<p>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). </p>
