How will Geospace Respond to a Changing Climate?
Co-leaders:
- Jan Lastovicka (CZ)
- Daniel Marsh (USA)
Introduction
Scientific issues
Task Group 2 will focus on answering these three key questions over the next 4 years:
1. How do changes in tropospheric wave generation and their propagation through a changing atmosphere affect the dynamics of the MLT?
2. By how much is the anthropogenic effect on the ionosphere/thermosphere enhanced during a quiet sun period?
3. Are PMC/NLC characteristics trending?
To answer these questions, five projects are established characterize and understand the impacts of:
[[Project 1.1 Changes in wave sources (storm tracks, mountain waves, convection and stratospheric heating rates).]]
- Project leaders:
[[Project 1.2 Changes in filtering (changes of background winds due to CO2 trends and ozone layer changes).]]
[[Project 1.3 Changes in MLTI dynamics and composition.]]
