*Title*: *Multiscale Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Coupling Studies
with the MAGE Model*
*Speaker*: *Dr. Dong Lin *
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Clemson University, USA
*Abstract: *Coupling between Earth's magnetosphere and the
ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) system governs the transport of energy and
momentum throughout geospace and plays a central role in driving space
weather variability. Understanding these coupling processes remains
challenging because they span a broad range of spatial and temporal scales
- from global magnetospheric dynamics to kinetic-scale plasma processes -
and involve distinct plasma populations that require different physical
descriptions across the magnetosphere, ring current, and
ionosphere-thermosphere.
In this seminar, I will present recent advances in multiscale MIT coupling
studies using the *Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment (MAGE)* model.
Developed through the NASA DRIVE Science Center for Geospace Storms, MAGE
is a two-way coupled whole-geospace model that self-consistently resolves
solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere interactions across
multiple scales. I will demonstrate how MAGE captures both global-scale
geospace dynamics and mesoscale structures, including subauroral
polarization streams (SAPS) and traveling ionospheric and atmospheric
disturbances (TIDs/TADs), as well as the ionosphere-thermosphere response
to interplanetary drivers over a wide range of timescales. These results
highlight the importance of accurately representing magnetospheric forcing
for reliable simulations of multiscale
magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling and space weather.
