Temperature measurements of the thermosphere during storm times would provide valuable insight into this energy redistribution along the thermospheric altitudes. However, due to limited observational capabilities, no comprehensive long-term study on the storm-time thermospheric temperature response and its associated time scales has been carried out to-date. Our study aims to fill-in this void using the newly available temperature data derived from the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument onboard the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite and temperature measurements using the Radiation and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) experiment flown on the International Space Station (ISS). This combined data-set would provide a rich source of information to understand the upper atmosphere response on a global scale. This proposed study would help in understanding the time scales for temperature increase at high latitudes to propagate to low latitudes and also to formulate the variation of this process as a function of the geomagnetic storm intensity. In this paper,we present the first look into this research and an insight into the methodology we would employ to carry out this research.
