<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 16px;"><font face="Calibri">Determining the effects of energy deposition and transport, and momentum exchange across different spatial and temporal scales during
disturbed times such as storms and substorms is an important objective in the M-I-T system. Coupling over multiple scales is also a critical challenge since observational and modeling methodologies for bridging different scales do not presently exist. This
session solicits presentations on a wide range of coupling processes in the M-I-T system from global to local processes. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) (1) density structures and temperature gradients (polar cap, cusp, plume, trough, irregularities);
(2) convection (flow channels, SAPS, penetration electric field) and FAC; (3) energy transfer and deposition by precipitation, conductivity, aurora, and heating; (4) inter-hemispheric processes and (5) coupling and feedback into the magnetosphere. Discussions
of relevant multi-scale observations by means of multiple instruments, including space and ground-based, modeling and data science are encouraged.</font></span></p>
