The new Horizontal Wind Model (HWM07) provides a statistical representation of the
horizontal wind fields of the Earth's atmosphere from the ground to the exosphere (0–500 …

Thermospheric wind data obtained from the Atmosphere Explorer E and Dynamics Explorer
2 satellites have been combined with wind data for the lower and upper thermosphere from …

Advances in Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) technology implemented within the past
decade have been extensive achieving improvements in sensitivity by one or two orders of …

Measurements of atmospheric density near 410 km from the STAR accelerometer on the
CHAMP satellite are used to illustrate the spatial‐temporal dependence of the …

Companion papers in this series present (1) the role of equatorial E region postsunset

During the Condor campaign a number of instruments were set up in Peru to support the
rocket experiments. In this series of papers we report on the results of the experiments …

An equatorial campaign was conducted during September 25 to October 7, 1994, to
investigate the neutral and plasma dynamics in the equatorial ionosphere after sunset in …

Using 3 years (2002–2004), over 16,400 orbits of measurements from the accelerometer on
board the CHAMP satellite, we have studied the climatology of the equatorial zonal wind in …

A latitudinal-distributed network of GPS receivers has been operating within Colombia, Peru
and Chile with sufficient latitudinal span to measure the absolute total electron content (TEC) …

This dissertation focuses on using a new satellite data source to characterize the response
of the thermosphere to several different types of dynamical forcing. In this study, the methods …
