Electrodynamics and energetics of the ionosphere-thermosphere system
Recent research on the complex interaction of the ionosphere-thermosphere system. The high-latitude ionosphere is controlled by the solar wind-magnetospheric dynamo and the influx of energetic charged particles via the magnetosphere. The mid and low-latitude ionosphere is dominated by the neutral wind dynamo. The thermosphere is controlled by tidal solar heating, however, the ionosphere-thermosphere system needs to be regarded as a whole, which requires an understanding of the coupling and feedback between the charged and neutral particles. This requires observations and modelling studies of aurora, convection, tides, Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances, Joule heating, and other phenomena.
