26th General Assembly of the
International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) 2015
June 22-July2, 2015, Prague, Czech Republic

Symposium A15:
Long-term trends in the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere
(Div. II-F/ICMA/SCOSTEP)

Convener: Jan Laštovička (Prague, Czech Republic) e-mail

Co-convener: G. Beig (ICMA, Pune, India)

Description

Greenhouse gases and other drivers cause long-term trends at higher levels in the atmosphere and ionosphere, which are much stronger than tropospheric trends. Papers on progress in investigating trends in the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere, based on ground-based as well as satellite-borne observations, model simulations, theoretical analyses, statistics and determination of trends, and laboratory experiments, are welcome. Particular attention should be paid to papers dealing with synthesis of various results and papers dealing with areas of open problems, like the quantitative difference between observations and models or long-term trends in winds and atmospheric wave activity.
