| Co-convener(s) | Prof. Shigeo Yoden (Kyoto University, Japan) Prof. Hye-Yeong Chun (Yonsei University, Korea, South) Prof. Zeyu Chen (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) |
| Session Description | Papers and posters will be invited on all subjects dealing with the dynamics, chemistry, or physics of the atmosphere from near the tropopause to the lower thermosphere. Observational, modeling, theoretical, and laboratory studies are all solicited. Research topics include (but are not limited to): multiple-scale dynamics and mixing, observations, modeling and parameterization of gravity waves, coupled chemistry-climate modeling, stratospheric chemistry and ozone recovery, microphysics, chemistry and dynamics in the TTL or the extratropical UTLS, vertical coupling in the polar regions, tropical/extratropical interactions, and intraseasonal/interannual variations and long-term change in middle atmosphere. We particularly encourage papers related to the new results that will provide new insights into the middle atmosphere science. |
