[Guram Kervalishvili]

Dear Colleagues,
 
We would like to draw your attention and invite you to consider submitting an abstract to session C1.4 in Scientific Commission C to be held at the COSPAR 2022 - 44th General Assembly in Athens, July 16-24 2022.

COSPAR-22-C1.4: PROBING THE LOWER-THERMOSPHERE-IONOSPHERE WITH IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS
Session details (https://www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/sessioninfo.php?session=1027 <https://www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/sessioninfo.php?session=1027>):
The Lower-Thermosphere-Ionosphere (LTI) is a complex dynamical system responsive to forcing from above and below. It is the gateway between the Earth's atmosphere and space, and is a crucial region for understanding key processes that determine the energetics, dynamics and chemistry of the whole atmosphere. Key processes involving the interactions of neutrals and plasmas often require knowledge of all relevant geophysical observables with a sufficient temporal and spatial scale, where some of them can only be obtained in-situ. This session aims at introducing and discussing scientific activities towards the exploration of the LTI with in-situ measurements. In particular, we invite presentations on in-situ observations of plasma density and temperature, ion drift, neutral density and wind, ion and neutral composition, electric and magnetic fields, and energetic particles to study the electrodynamics and neutral dynamics of the LTI and its response to atmospheric waves, solar and geomagnetic activity. We welcome presentations on results from existing satellite missions and future mission concepts, CubeSats, re-entry analyses, sounding rocket campaigns, as well as potential synergies between in-situ and ground- or satellite-based remote-sensing observations, and on technological concepts, data processing, modelling, and data-assimilation.
 
The session’s focus will be on the following topics
Lower-Thermosphere-Ionosphere (LTI) System
Coupling processes in Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, Thermosphere and Atmosphere 
Ionosphere/Plasma Measurements
Thermosphere/Neutral Atmosphere Measurements
Precipitating Particles, Magnetic and Electric Fields
 
Confirmed Solicited Speakers: Theodoros Sarris (Democritus University of Thrace, Greece), Therese Moretto Jorgensen (NASA Ames Research Center, US), Sean Bruinsma (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, France)
 
We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much for your attention.
 
Sincerely yours, session conveners,
Guram Kervalishvili and Christian Siemes
