[Khadka, Sovit]

Dear Colleagues,


We cordially invite you to submit abstracts to the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting
session (SA006) - Composition, Wind, and Temperature Variability in the
Mesosphere and Ionosphere/Thermosphere.


         ****Session Details****

Session Title: SA006 - Composition, Wind, and Temperature Variability in
the Mesosphere and Ionosphere/Thermosphere

Section: SPA-Aeronomy

Primary Convener: Sovit Khadka, New Jersey Institute of Technology

Conveners: Martin G Mlynczak, NASA Langley Research Center

                   Andrew J Gerrard, New Jersey Institute of Technology

                   Patrick Dandenault, Johns Hopkins University


Session Description:

The composition, winds, and temperatures of Earth’s mesosphere and
ionosphere/thermosphere are determined by the complex interplay of
chemical, dynamical, and thermodynamic processes driven by forcing from
both above and below. The forcing of these regions and the many different
processes involved vary over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales,
hindering accurate determination of these fundamental parameters critical
to satellite operations and radio communications. Past and current space
missions, field campaigns, as well as theoretical and modeling advances,
have led to a new understanding of how and why the dominant drivers of
upper atmospheric composition, winds, and temperatures in these regions
change over different spatial and temporal scales. This session, therefore,
seeks to highlight various topics surrounding middle and upper atmospheric
composition, wind, and temperature measurements, their variability, and the
prominent mechanisms that drive their spatial, seasonal, and inter-annual
variability from theoretical, observational, and modeling perspectives.


We look forward to your contribution to our AGU session.

Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 04 August
2021 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT.


Thank you.


Sincerely,

Sovit Khadka
