CEDAR email: AGU session SA017 - Science in the GDC and DYNAMIC Era: Assembling a Great Observatory for the ITM

[Astrid Maute]

Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit abstracts to the AGU session "SA017 - Science in the GDC and DYNAMIC Era: Assembling a Great Observatory for the ITM" at the 2023 AGU Fall Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11-15 December 2023). More info below.
Session Description: The ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) region is strongly driven by the lower atmosphere as well as by the sun and solar wind/magnetosphere interaction. However, the strong spatio-temporal cross-scale, cross-regime coupling in this region are poorly understood due to lack of critical measurements. To improve this situation, we must develop a coordinated international "Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere Great Observatory" (ITM-GO) effort, consisting of coordinated comprehensive ground-based and space-based observations alongside advanced theory/modeling efforts.
The Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission, a critical ITM-GO element, will provide the first quantitative assessment of the global IT responses to solar and magnetospheric inputs. The concurrent Dynamical Neutral Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (DYNAMIC) mission will observe critically important dynamics in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere and the IT forcing by the lower atmosphere. This session calls for presentations on research investigations that will be enabled by GDC and DYNAMIC. Strategies for coordinated ground- and space-based observational and modeling investigations are also encouraged.

The submission deadline is August 2nd, 2023 (2359 EDT).
Conveners:
Doug Rowland, Astrid Maute, Guiping Liu, Larisa Goncharenko, Oluwafisayo Paul Owolabi
