Neutral wind dynamo and ionospheric electrodynamics at low and mid- latitudes
The wind dynamo is the essential cause of ionospheric electrodynamics, driving ionospheric variability on various spatial-temporal scales at low- and mid-latitudes. In order to advance the heliosphere science in the new decade for characterizing and forecasting ionospheric variability, substantial observational and modeling efforts are needed with a focus on the wind dynamo and its drivers.
