ST13: Advances in Auroral Observations and Impact on Space Weather Research</span></b><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white">Auroral activity is a result of coupling among the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere. Auroral activity results in the dissipation
of energy at high latitudes through energetic particle precipitation and Joule heating. Much progress has been made over the past decades in auroral observations from ground- and space- based platforms. While localized auroral structures in non-sunlit and
fixed regions can be revealed by ground observations, global auroral activity has to be observed by a satellite. However, observing the emissions from the aurora is only part of what is needed to understand how the high latitudes drive the global response
of the coupled system. For example, Joule heating is strongly dependent on the local neutral winds. This session welcomes all contributions on auroral-related research though observations and/or modeling, such as auroral phenomena and associated physical processes,
ionosphere and thermosphere response to auroral activity, feedback effect of auroral activity in geospace, advances in in situ and remote sensing techniques for auroral observations as well as future need of global and continuous auroral observations. Presentations
on new or planned space mission or ground based observations are also encouraged.
