TIMED science program included ground-based observation from the on-set through TIMED/CEDAR and NASA/NSF collaboration with the expectation of great science enabled via synergy between ground-based and space-borne observations, and model simulation. With TIMED four instruments observing for more than four years, and many improved ground-based CEDAR instrument observing correlatively, many interesting and unexpected science results were made possible because of the synergism between ground-based and TIMED observation. The existing ground-based and past satellite data sets also allow more close examination of long-term observations in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region by combining current data sets with past observations. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together recent highlights of the collaborated research as well as to discuss more creative synergistic collaborations and long-term MLT studies in the future.
