Geospace coupling to Polar Atmosphere aims to bring together a team of scientist to study the impact of the near-Earth space to the polar atmosphere and lower ionosphere. Our science interests lie on examining how the forcing from the Sun and the near-Earth space induces changes in this region extending from low to high altitudes, particularly through precipitation of high energy particles. Our goal is to use a variety of different data sets from ground based and satellite platforms together with state of the art models of the atmosphere and ionosphere to achieve a unified global picture of the geospace impact on the Earth’s atmosphere through the polar regions.
