Session Description: Understanding the confluence of energy and momentum processes that interconnect Earth’s upper atmosphere with terrestrial weather from below and space weather from above presents a captivating scientific problem. The Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere
(ITM) system is highly responsive to external drivers such as solar irradiance and solar wind-magnetospheric forcing, and fluctuations driven by lower-atmosphere waves. Planetary waves, tides, persistent gravity waves, and recurrent magnetospheric forcing
contribute to ongoing ITM variability across timescales from years to hours. Superimposed upon those are abrupt disturbances triggered by terrestrial events such as thunderstorms/hurricanes/volcano eruptions/sudden stratospheric warmings, and geomagnetic storms
from space. These processes can occur simultaneously, making forecasts of the ITM system challenging. The goal of this session is to advance the understanding of whole atmosphere interconnections between terrestrial weather (waves) and space weather, their
relative importance, and the ITM responses to sudden disturbances from both terrestrial and space origins as well as their potential interactions.</div>
