[IM] Middle atmosphere and thermosphere

Scopes

The middle atmosphere and thermosphere at altitudes of 10-100 and 100-500 km, respectively, are partially overlapped by the ionosphere in which the plasma dynamics plays an important role, and are also transition regions where various types of interactions and vertical coupling processes are caused by wave propagation from the troposphere with various meteorological phenomena and energetic particle precipitations from the sun and magnetosphere. Viewpoints of both the aeronomy and meteorology and their interdisciplinary studies are essential in these altitude regions. This session provides an opportunity to present and discuss observational, theoretical, and modeling studies focusing on a variety of phenomena in the middle atmosphere and thermosphere.
