Abstract

The Global‐Scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission has been selected as a mission of opportunity by NASA's Small Explorer program. This mission, with an anticipated 2014 launch date, is an opportunity to significantly advance thermosphere‐ionosphere (TI) science and to provide answers to key elements of an overarching question for heliophysics science: What is the global‐scale response of the thermosphere and ionosphere to forcing (e.g., by geomagnetic storms or atmospheric tides) in the integrated Sun‐Earth system?
