| Session Description |
General contributions addressing various science issues covered in the Solar-Terrestrial section, such as Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere (MLT) system, Upper Atmosphere and Ionosphere physics in regional and global scales, solar terrestrial interactions, and coupling of atmospheres, and the topics which are not covered in any of the special sessions, are solicited to this general session. The topics for this general session include mean winds, tides and waves in MLT region and thermosphere, anomalies in MLT region, semi-annual, annual, QBOs, solar cycle and long-term variations of the MLT region, thermosphere and ionosphere interactions, total electron content (TEC) and tomography, plasma irregularities including plasma bubbles, spread F and scintillations, equatorial and auroral electrojets, sporadic E and metallic layers, airglow, traveling atmospheric dynamics and traveling ionosphere dynamics, thermospheric and ionospheric storms & substorms, prompt penetration and disturbance dynamo effects, space weather effects in the earth's upper atmosphere, and atmospheric electricity. Contributions using regional and global in situ and ground-based observations, theoretical and numerical modeling are also welcome. |
