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).
