The aim of the study is to define coordinated ground-,
balloon- and satellite-based measurements associated to modelling to determine
energy transfers between the atmosphere and the space environment. Special
emphasis will be placed on: on (i) dynamic coupling of near Earth space to the
upper atmosphere via waves and energetic particles, (ii) effects of
thunderstorms and lightning discharges at high altitudes and in near-Earth
space, (iii) theoretical models of local dynamical and chemical processes
combining chemistry of ions and neutral species (iv) coordinated observations
(at ground and/or in space) of electromagnetic emissions, associated
atmospheric waves, NOx emissions, optical emissions and ionization changes,
Campaigns of observations will be coordinated
with measurements with the CNES micro satellite DEMETER (in orbit since
July 2004) and results will be used to prepare future campaigns with the ASIM instrument (to fly on the ISS) and
the micro-satellite projects TARANIS (in phase B at CNES) and CHIBIS (launch in
2009, Russia).
