Session ID#: 13069

Session Description:
Winds, composition, and temperature in the thermosphere are closely coupled. Understanding this coupling is critical to understanding the variability of the thermosphere under different geophysical conditions and its impact on the ionosphere at various temporal and spatial scales. This session focuses on the theoretical and observational studies of the dynamics and thermodynamics of the thermosphere and their effect on the ionosphere. We seek presentations covering both the climatological variability and the weather of thermospheric winds, temperature, composition, and density and their associated ionospheric density, composition, and TEC changes.  Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: 1) annual, semi-annual, and solar cycle variations of the thermosphere and ionosphere; 2) storm-time changes of thermospheric winds, temperature and composition; 3) storm-time ionosphere density, composition, and TEC variations and their feedback effect on the thermosphere through ion-neutral coupling.
