CEDAR email: 2016 JpGU Session (P-EM03)：Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Earth's Atmosphere

[Loren Chang]

Dear Colleagues,

We are convening an international session on MTI coupling at Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) meeting in May, 2016 in Japan. http://www.jpgu.org/meeting_e2016/

This session is a joint session between JpGU and AGU on atmosphere-ionosphere coupling, and solicited talks from many young active scientists are scheduled to cover a broad range of topics. 

The following abstract provides detailed information on our session. 

We look forward to your submissions and participation!

Thank you.

Session (P-EM03)：Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Earth's Atmosphere

Session Description:
　  The whole atmosphere concept is the key for the next breakthrough in solar-terrestrial science. 
　  This international session focuses on physical/chemical processes occurring in the mesosphere, 
　  thermosphere, and ionosphere (MTI) from both the poles to the equatorial region. Both quiet and 
　  disturbed states in response to lower atmospheric forcing or solar forcing are important for 
　  understanding the MTI system and its coupling to other regions. We invite presentations of 
　  observations with ground-based and/or space-borne instruments, theoretical studies, 
　  numerical simulations, and development of data analysis systems for various kinds of 
　  temporal and spatial variations in MTI system.

Solicited speakers:
　　P. Epsy, T. Immel, J. Guo, M. Kaufmann, J. Lei,  Y. Miyoshi, G. Li, N. Pedatella,  
　　J. Snively,  M. Tsutsumi, Y. Yamasaki 

Date for oral presentation: May 22, 2016.

Abstract submission: Feb. 3 (early deadline); Feb. 18 (final deadline)

Limited travel support is available on a competition basis for students with interesting results.
