Description: The Earth's ionosphere, embedded within the thermosphere, is a complex environment influenced by solar and magnetospheric processes from above, and upward propagating disturbances from below. At lower altitudes, the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere are known to be dynamically coupled by vertically propagating waves with vastly different spatial and temporal scales. The extent of vertical coupling in the atmosphere/ionosphere system depends on dynamical, aeronomical, electrodynamical and plasma physical processes that interact with each other. Understanding the details of the coupling mechanisms remains a major challenge for the atmospheric and space science communities. This special section will present new findings and propose possible processes that link phenomena in different altitude regions.
