| Main Convener | Dr. Zahra Bouya (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia) |
| Co-convener(s) | Dr. Biqiang Zhao (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) Dr. Katsumi Hattori (Chiba University, Japan) Dr. Sreeja Vadakke Veettil (University of Nottingham, United Kingdom) Dr. Yusuke Ebihara (Kyoto University, Japan) |
| Session Description | This session is meant for submitting papers that may not suit well to any of the specific sections including Sun-Earth system response to extreme solar and seismic events discussions. Contributions addressing local and global issues in mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) region, upper-thermosphere, ionosphere and plasmasphere regions and international reference ionosphere (IRI) are solicited. The topics of interest include the generation and propagation of mean winds, tides, gravity waves and planetary waves, nocti-lucent clouds , polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE), sudden stratospheric waring (SSW), equatorial and auroral electrojets, sporadic E and metallic layers, day-to-day, seasonal, solar cycle, interhemispheric and longitude variations of ionosphere and thermosphere, ionospheric and thermospheric anomalies, ionospheric currents and electric fields, plasma bubbles, spread-F and scintillations, air glows, TIDs and TADs, ionospheric and thermospheric storms, and space weather. Contributions using ground-based and in-situ observations, theory and modelling are solicited. This session invites papers addressing all aspects of response of the coupled Sun-Earth system to extreme seismic events, extreme solar events and space weather effects on technology and climate system through observations, theory and modeling on global and regional scales. |
