CEDAR email: Fall AGU Session SA005: Dynamical response of the thermosphere and ionosphere to geomagnetic disturbances

[Wenbin Wang]

Dear Colleagues


We welcome submissions to our Fall AGU session SA 005: "Dynamical response
of the thermosphere and ionosphere to geomagnetic disturbances". Abstracts
are due on August 5, 2015.
We are look forward to seeing you in San Francisco

Regards

Wenbin Wang, Yue Deng, and Vikas Sonwalkar



Session ID#: 8859

Session Description:

During geomagnetic disturbances, large changes in thermospheric winds,
temperature, and composition occur in response to energy and momentum
deposition from the magnetosphere and solar wind. These changes further
lead to ionospheric variations in dynamo electric field, electron density
and TEC. The nonlinear response of the thermosphere and ionosphere depends
on various geophysical conditions, such as season and solar activity, and
is still not well understood. This session is dedicated to the study of the
dynamical response of the coupled thermosphere and ionosphere to
geomagnetic disturbances under different geophysical conditions, with
emphasis on thermosphere winds and temperature changes during storms, the
effect of these changes on the ionosphere, and the feedback effect of
ionospheric variations on the thermosphere. We invite contributions based
on observations and simulations to address various aspects of the dynamical
response of the coupled thermosphere and ionosphere to geomagnetic
disturbances and the physical processes that drive this response.
