Abstract Themes
This Chapman is focusing on four main areas of the science to keep focus and show progression.
How are the dynamics of the middle and upper atmosphere dependent upon topside driving in the form of EPP?
What are the solar and magnetospheric dynamics that modify topside driving in the form of EPP?
How can current modeling techniques and observations be used to bridge gaps in knowledge of regional coupling?
What is the potential role of existing/upcoming observations or new techniques to allow models to better capture coupling physics and make predictions?
Format Overview
This conference will have four full days (Monday-Thursday) and a half day on Friday. There will be no parallel sessions, allowing the meeting to be more focused and simplifying venue selection. We will have daily focused talks and discussion on proposed coupling issues in the following format:
Monday-Thursday
8:30-10:00 Talks and discussion
10:00-10:30 Break
10:30-12:00 Talks and discussion
12:00-1:30 - Lunch
1:30-3:00 – Group discussion of daily topics
3:00-3:30 Break
3:30-5:00 – discussion continues around posters
Friday
8:30-12:00: group discussion of the summarized list of open scientific questions and opportunity to form collaborations and identify possible funding.
