Description

The ionosphere is a highly conducting medium that exists in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. This medium varies markedly with altitude, latitude, longitude and time, and is particularly variable during geomagnetic storms and substorms. As a consequence of various internal and external processes, the ionosphere displays both background features, such as the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly, and structured features, such as spread-F, plasma bubbles, storm enhanced densities, and plasma blobs. This workshop will focus on the recent advances made in modeling the ionosphere, including its coupling to the lower atmosphere, thermosphere, polar wind, plasmasphere, and inner magnetosphere.
