CEDAR email: AGU Fall Session SM021: Mesoscale processes with global scale consequences throughout geospace

[Astrid Maute]

Dear colleagues,



We solicit presentations at the 2020 AGU Fall Meeting from investigations
in theory, modeling, and observations across all regions of geospace, with
the goal of shedding light on the importance of mesoscale processes in
altering the global system’s behavior.



Session Title:

*SM021. Mesoscale Processes With Global Scale Consequences Throughout
Geospace*

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/sm/sessions/index.cgi?username=102443&password=636338



Session Description:

Understanding the physics of geospace and developing predictive
capabilities for space weather requires a holistic view of all of the
interconnected regions of magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and
lower atmosphere, and their complex interactions. Processes occur at local,
mesoscale, and global scales, and these scales interact and feedback on
each other. Examples of mesoscale structures include, but are not limited
to: bursty bulk flows, flux transfer events, Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices,
polar cap patches and ionization tongues, mesoscale waves from the lower
atmosphere, etc. These mesoscale structures either modulate the transfer of
energy and/or mass between the local and global scales, or by themselves
impart dynamic variability on the resultant global structure, thus,
potentially profoundly altering the global system’s behavior. This session
solicits contributions from investigations in theory, modeling, and
observations across all regions of geospace, with the goal of shedding
light on the importance of mesoscale processes.



Best regards,

Matina Gkioulidou, Larry Kepko, Astrid Maute
