Scientific paper
The scientific objectives and mission concept that emerged from the discussions of this panel are presented. The overall scientific theme of this report is the investigation of the ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (near Earth space environment) as a global, dynamic, and coupled system. Among the specific goals of this area of research are: (1) understanding the consequences of transition between turbulent and laminar flow and collisional and collisionless media; (2) understanding the thermospheric/mesospheric coupling due to gravity wave, tidal, and trace constituent transport processes; (3) understanding the electrodynamical coupling between the thermosphere/ionosphere and magnetosphere; (4) understanding the coupling processes between small scale plasma structures; and (5) determining the real-time evolution of the global ionosphere electric field in response to solar wind and magnetosphere coupling.
