Space and Planetary Sciences(P) Session Sub Category Solar-Terrestrial Sciences, Space Electromagnetism & Space Environment(EM) Session ID P-EM05 Title Characteristics of atmospheric waves in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) Short title Atmospheric waves in MLT Convener Name Toshitaka Tsuda Affiliation Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere Email tsuda@rish.kyoto-u.ac.jp Co-convener Name Atsuki Shinbori Affiliation Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH), Kyoto University Email shinbori@rish.kyoto-u.ac.jp International Symposium 'International Symposium' in addition to Scientific session. Language English Scope In this session, we discuss atmospheric waves and the long-term variation of mean winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) on the basis of MF, meteor and Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radar observations, which have been widely extended from the equatorial Asia-Oceania to polar regions. Topics on upward and downward coupling between lower atmosphere and ionosphere are also welcome. We invite papers on experiments with ground-based and/or space-borne instruments, theoretical studies, numerical simulations, and development of data analysis systems for various kinds of atmospheric variations in the MLT regions. Type of presentation Oral and Poster presentation Invited papers R. A. Vincent (University of Adelaide) I. M Reid (University of Adelaide)
