Investigations of Daytime Thermosphere Ionosphere Using Observations and Model Simulations
Investigations of Daytime Thermosphere Ionosphere Using Observations and Model Simulations
Session ID#: 123653
Session Description:
The thermosphere ionosphere (TI) system is influenced by waves from below and by forcing from above. The unprecedented spatial and temporal coverage of TI measurements by recent satellite missions - such as ICON, GOLD, and COSMIC-2 - is providing new insights into the nature of the TI system. These observations are being combined with ground-based ionospheric observations, model simulations, and data assimilation to address the daytime changes during both geomagnetically quiet and active conditions as well as the role of daytime changes in TI variability at night. This session seeks presentations that address aspects of daytime thermosphere and ionosphere behavior, particularly as it relates to the new satellite missions. Theoretical and data assimilation contributions are also solicited, as are experimental studies that relate to the daytime upper atmosphere.
