[Sovit Khadka]

Dear Colleagues,


You are cordially invited to submit abstracts to the 2023 AGU Fall Meeting session (SA005) - Composition, Wind, and Temperature Variability in the Mesosphere and Ionosphere/Thermosphere.


         ****Session Details****

Session Title: SA005 - Composition, Wind, and Temperature Variability in the Mesosphere and Ionosphere/Thermosphere

Section: SPA-Aeronomy

Primary Convener: Sovit Khadka, Orion Space Solutions

Conveners: Martin G Mlynczak, NASA Langley Research Center

                     Andrew J Gerrard, New Jersey Institute of Technology

                     Lilias Claire Gasque, University of California, Berkeley


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, 02 August 2023 at 23:59 EDT/03:59+1 GMT.


Thank you.


Sincerely,

Sovit Khadka, Martin Mlynczak, Andrew Gerrard, Liying Qian, and Lilias Claire Gasque
