Recent advances in MIT coupling science from high to mid-latitude using ground-based observations
Session ID#: 76589
Session Description:
The proliferation of ground-based sensors in quantity, geographic distribution, and methodology, from sub-auroral to polar-cap latitudes over the past decade, and the addition of non-traditional data collection agents, i.e., the "citizen scientists", have resulted in new and compelling observations of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) system. These observations provide a wealth of information about plasma transport and structuring, as well as energy deposition, chemistry, associated dynamics and interconnections with various domains of the Earth's geomagnetic environment which were previously inaccessible or unidentified. This session solicits contributions on the topic of novel MIT coupling observations, techniques, and methodologies from existing and recently deployed ground-based sensors, located from the sub-auroral to the polar-cap region. We also solicit contributions from theoretical and modeling efforts, especially those that identify new and emerging MIT science targets prompted by the observations, techniques, and methodologies related to these instruments.
