The Earth's atmosphere is subject to changes on different spatial and temporal scales. The focus of this workshop are the principle mechanisms of vertical coupling processes in the Earth's atmosphere. We will concentrate on dynamical, electrodynamical, and chemical processes that drive coupling events between the neutral atmosphere, the ionosphere, and the magnetosphere. We invite papers dealing with experiments, modelling, data analyses, and theoretical aspects that describe the effects of coupling processes within the atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system; ROSMIC related contributions are highly encouraged.

We hope to meet you in Potsdam in July 2018!

The workshop registration fee is 220€, and shall be paid via bank transfer. You will receive the details after your successful registration. The registration fee covers conference materials, participation in a welcome party, and an excursion.

Students, young scientists and participants from low-income countries may apply for travel support. If you like to submit an application, upload your abstract before 31 March 2018. Add a paragraph under the abstract describing your situation and add information on your current position, affiliation, and your degree.
