This monograph is the outcome of an American Geophysical Union
Chapman Conference on longitude and hemispheric dependence of
ionospheric space weather, including the impact of waves
propagating from the lower atmosphere. The Chapman Conference was
held in Africa as a means of focusing attention on an extensive
geographic region where observations are critically needed to
address some of the fundamental questions of the physical processes
driving the ionosphere locally and globally. The compilation of
papers from the conference describes the physics of this system and
the mechanisms that control ionospheric space weather in a
combination of tutorial-like and focused articles that will be of
value to the upper atmosphere scientific community in general and
to ongoing global magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT)
modeling efforts in particular. A number of articles from each
science theme describe details of the physics behind each
phenomenon that help to solve the complexity of the MIT system.
Because this volume is an outcome of the research presented at this
first space science Chapman Conference held in Africa, it has
further provided an opportunity for African scientists to
communicate their research results with the international
community. In addition, the meeting and this conference volume will
greatly enhance the space science education and research interest
in the African continent and around the world. Ionospheric Space
Weather includes articles from six science themes that were
discussed at the Chapman Conference in 2012. These include: *
Hemispherical dependence of magnetospheric energy injection and the
thermosphere-ionosphere response * Longitude and hemispheric
dependence of storm-enhanced densities (SED) * Response of the
thermosphere and ionosphere to variability in solar radiation *
Longitude spatial structure in total electron content and
electrodynamics * Temporal response to lower-atmosphere
disturbances * Ionospheric irregularities and scintillation
Ionospheric Space Weather: Longitude Dependence and Lower
Atmosphere Forcing will be useful to both active researchers and
advanced graduate students in the field of physics, geophysics, and
engineering, especially those who are keen to acquire a global
understanding of ionospheric phenomena, including observational
information from all longitude sectors across the globe.
