CEDAR email: Call for papers for the C.1.1 session on Recent Advances in Equatorial, Low- and Mid-Latitude Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Ionosphere Studies, during COSPAR-2026

[Venkatesh Kavutarapu]

Dear Colleagues,
 
We invite abstracts for the C1.1 session being organized at 46th COSPAR
scientific assembly at Florence, Italy during 01-09 August 2026. The
details of the session are given below.
 
SESSION C1.1: Recent Advances in Equatorial, Low- and Mid-Latitude
Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Ionosphere Studies

DESCRIPTION: Dynamic processes taking place in the mesosphere, lower
thermosphere and ionosphere are always intriguing to the scientific
community. Ever increasing ground and space based experiments are providing
large database on the MLT region, and opening up new avenues to employ
advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques
to understand and simulate various physical processes taking place in these
regions.

Papers are invited for a session on the recent advances in the field of the
equatorial, low- and mid-latitude mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere
from observational (ground-based and space-borne), theoretical and
simulation studies. Contributions related to all aspects of these areas are
welcome. Topics include but not limited to: MLT region; the response of the
thermosphere- ionosphere system to forcing from above and below; equatorial
electrodynamic processes; coupling between mid-, low- and equatorial
latitude regions; space weather events (especially the May 2024 event);
magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling; Ionospheric response to SSW; ionospheric
irregularities and scintillations; latitudinal and/or longitudinal
variability; ionosphere F-layer stratification; data-assimilation studies;
modelling through AI/ML; advanced space and ground-based experiments,
tomography. The session will include both solicited and contributed (oral
and poster) papers.

Last date for submission of abstracts: 13 FEBRUARY 2026

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Paulo R. Fagundes, MSO, C1.1 of COSPAR-2026
