Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract to our Fall AGU session:

*SA012 "Geomagnetic Storms and Substorms and the SAPS 
Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Science Challenge: Towards a 
Synthesis of Observations, Modeling, and Theory"*


Session Description:

Geomagnetic storms and substorms have dramatic consequences for the 
coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (M-I-T) system that test 
our system-level understanding. One particularly well-suited science 
target is the Sub-Auroral Polarization Stream (SAPS), understood as a 
band of enhanced poleward-directed (ionosphere) / radially directed 
(magnetosphere) electric field that has a width of one to several 
degrees of magnetic latitude and extends across many hours of MLT in the 
evening sector in regions equatorward of the auroral electron 
precipitation boundary. This session welcomes presentations that address 
ionospheric and thermospheric dynamics resulting from M-I-T coupling 
with specific focus on the cross-domain connections to magnetospheric 
drivers. Experimental results of particular interest include 
ground-based and satellite measurements of ionospheric densities, 
composition, and flows in sub-auroral regions, thermospheric response, 
optical imaging, and magnetospheric plasma, fields, and currents. 
Simulations of the coupled system are sought.  We welcome comprehensive 
analyses of events selected in the recent CEDAR-GEM SAPS challenge.


The session is cross-listed in the Aeronomy and Magnetospheric Physics 
sections. The session ID is 13946.


The submission deadline is 3 August. Click here to submit an abstract to
