Abstract: The transitional zone bridging the domains of astronautics and aeronautics refers to the region between traditional aviation and space activities, specifically the atmospheric layer from 20 km to 150 km above the Earth’s surface. With the accelerated development of aerospace integrated space environment services, the modeling and forecasting of atmospheric dynamics in the aerospace transition zone have received increasing attention from various disciplines, while significant progress has been made on the microphysical processes and mechanisms of the aerospace transition zone atmospheric disturbances. This study reviews recent advances in atmospheric dynamics research for the aerospace transition zone. It summarizes studies on how solar radiation and polar particle precipitation affect this region within the Sun-solar wind-magnetosphere coupling chain. Then, we focus on summarizing the research progress of the coupling between Earth activities-lower atmosphere and the aerospace transition zone by four aspects of gravity waves, planetary waves, tidal waves, and typical lower atmospheric activities. Finally, it looks forward to the future development prospects of the aerospace transition zone and several key issues that need to be solved, providing a certain reference for scholars in atmospheric science and space physics.
