| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> The Antarctic Geospace and ATmosphere reseArch (AGATA) Programme Planning Group is a coordinated, worldwide effort to monitor, investigate and better understand the physics of the polar atmosphere and the impact of the Sun-Earth interactions on the polar regions. It is endorsed by SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research). If successful, AGATA will establish a new Research Programme representing the geospace and the polar atmosphere sciences within SCAR after more than 10 years of lack of similar topics ( https://www.scar.org/science/agata/home/ ). AGATA ambition is to contribute to answering the outstanding scientific questions within atmospheric and space physics: <ul><li>· How are different atmospheric layers coupled in the polar regions?</li><li>· How does the upper polar atmosphere respond to increased geomagnetic activity, including energy transfer from space into the ionosphere?</li><li>· How can we improve the understanding of ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ... |
