Composition and temperature data from satellite measurements and from radar backscatter
observations show that dynamics is a major key in our understanding of the upper …

Instrumentation flown on the Dynamics Explorer 2 (DE 2) spacecraft enabled the dynamics
of both the neutral and the ionized components of the Earth's upper atmosphere to be …

We have studied the dynamics of the nighttime high‐latitude F region with special emphasis
on the formation of the electron density trough region which lies equatorward of the auroral …

This paper examines the effect of magnetospheric convection in modifying the diurnal
neutral gas temperature distribution and circulation of the thermosphere for equinox …

Thermospheric wind data obtained from the Atmosphere Explorer E and Dynamics Explorer
2 satellites have been used to generate an empirical wind model for the upper …

We present a global empirical disturbance wind model (DWM07) that represents average
geospace‐storm‐induced perturbations of upper thermospheric (200–600 km altitude) …

Observational data from the Chatanika, Alaska incoherent scatter radar have been used to
deduce atmospheric heating rates associated with particle precipitation and joule …

We study a set of south (summer) polar passes from the Dynamics Explorer 2 data base that
provide measurements of ion and neutral velocities along the track of the spacecraft for …

Previous studies have shown that the wind, temperature, and composition structures
calculated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) thermospheric general …

Gravity waves are prominent in the polar region of the terrestiral thermosphere, and can be
excited by perturbations in Joule heating and Lorents force due to magnetospheric …
