     SA06. Connections Between the Lower and Upper Atmosphere and
           Ionosphere

     Abstract submission site opened on 21 July 2010.

     Deadline for submission is 2 September 2010.


      Ample observational evidence has recently emerged revealing close
   connections between dynamical processes in the lower atmosphere and
   temporal and spatial variability in the thermosphere and ionosphere.
   Examples include observations of persistent four- or three-peak
   longitudinal structures in electric fields and plasma and neutral
   densities, or drastic changes in the equatorial ionospheric anomaly
   correlated with sudden stratospheric warmings. While mechanisms of
   such connections are still under investigation, global planetary and
   tidal waves, smaller-scale gravity waves, and their nonlinear
   interactions appear to play a prominent role. Correlative data
   analysis and modeling studies are solicited. Contributions
   offering insights into physical mechanisms of the teleconnections 
between
   terrestrial and space weather are of particular interest.
