This session concerns changes in the structure of the atmosphere through all their dimensions, vertical and horizontal: contractions, heating and cooling, and changes in atmospheric circulation (e.g., related to tropical expansion). Also, the impacts of atmospheric contraction, for example, on the drag of space objects. We especially welcome presentations about existing data, data gaps and measurements to monitor trends in the middle and upper atmosphere. Also, studies evaluating causes, documenting, modelling or projecting changes in these layers.
