SA13B:
Monitoring Geospace Variations Through Remote Sensing I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 32147

Session Description:
Geospace (the ionosphere, thermosphere, plasmasphere and magnetosphere) is driven by energy and momentum inputs from the Sun, internal processes within these regions, and energy from the surface and lower atmosphere. Satellite-based remote sensing (X-ray, UV, visible, IR and radio frequencies) provides a cost-effective way to understand the system and its global response as well as those regions where in situ measurements are difficult. We welcome all contributions on imaging techniques, data analysis, modeling/simulations for geospace studies and future sensor improvement.
