SA11B:
New and Emerging Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Thermosphere Coupling Science from Remote and in Situ Spacecraft Measurements: The First 5 Years of Swarm Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 50201

Session Description:
The Swarm constellation recently became a quartet with the addition of the CASSIOPE Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) as Swarm-E. Since their launch in the Fall of 2013, Swarm and Swarm-E have formed the vanguard of remote and in situ diagnostics of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) system. As a quartet, Swarm will enable new insight into MIT coupling processes and wave-particle interactions across multiple spatiotemporal scales. We solicit contributions focusing on the major theoretical, modeling, and experimental MIT science results from the first 5 years of Swarm and Swarm-E, as well as contributions that identify new and emerging MIT science targets for the mission. Papers regarding MIT coupling processes at all latitudes are welcome. In particular, we seek contributions that focus on multi-point, multi-instrument (including ground-based instruments), and/or multi-spacecraft measurements, including those from other spacecraft missions.
