Certain space weather conditions enhance the transfer of energy from the supersonic and super-Alfvenic solar wind into the geospace environment, with numerous impacts upon modern technology. Solar-terrestrial interactions begin when the solar wind interacts with and transfers energy/momentum into the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetopause, creating various plasma, magnetic field, and energetic particle phenomena, many of which may have ionospheric counterparts. These include the possible formation of foreshock transients, pressure pulses, enhanced steady and transient magnetic reconnection, magnetic impulse events, traveling convection vortices, convection flow channels, increased ionospheric currents and intensification of the auroral borealis/australis. A deeper understanding of dayside coupling mechanisms is required to develop models that predict adverse space weather. The emphasis of this session is to identify the interaction mechanisms and quantify their significance via studies combining observations from multi-spacecraft and ground-based instruments within the context of results from theoretical models, computer simulations and AI-based models.
