It is the gateway between the Earth's atmosphere and space, and is a crucial region for understanding key processes that determine the energetics, dynamics and chemistry of the whole atmosphere. Key processes involving the interactions of neutrals and plasmas often require knowledge of all relevant geophysical observables with a sufficient temporal and spatial scale, where some of them can only be obtained in-situ. This session aims at introducing and discussing scientific activities towards the exploration of the LTI with in-situ measurements. In particular, we invite presentations on in-situ observations of plasma density and temperature, ion drift, neutral density and wind, ion and neutral composition, electric and magnetic fields, and energetic particles to study the electrodynamics and neutral dynamics of the LTI and its response to atmospheric waves, solar and geomagnetic activity. We welcome presentations on results from existing satellite missions and future mission concepts, CubeSats, re-entry analyses, sounding rocket campaigns, as well as potential synergies between in-situ and ground- or satellite-based remote-sensing observations, and on technological concepts, data processing, modelling, and data-assimilation.</i><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">The session’s focus will be on the following topic<span lang="EN-US" class="">s</span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><ul type="disc" class="" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;">Lower-Thermosphere-Ionosphere (LTI) System<o:p class=""></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;">Coupling processes in Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, Thermosphere and Atmosphere <o:p class=""></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;">Ionosphere/Plasma Measurements<o:p class=""></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;">Thermosphere/Neutral Atmosphere Measurements<o:p class=""></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm;">Precipitating Particles, Magnetic and Electric Fields<o:p class=""></o:p></li></ul></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"><b class="">Confirmed Solicited Speakers:</b> Theodoros Sarris (Democritus University of Thrace, Greece), Therese Moretto Jorgensen (NASA Ames Research Center, US), Sean Bruinsma (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, France)<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much for your attention.<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">Sincerely yours, session conveners,<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">Guram Kervalishvili and Christian Siemes</div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"></div></div><div class="">
