A COMPARISON OF WIND OBSERVATIONS OF THE UPPER THERMOSPHERE FROM THE DYNAMIClS EXPLORER SATELLITE WITH THE PREDICTIONS OF A GLOBAL TIME-DEPENDENT MODEL
Seven polar passes of the NASA ~y~arnics Enpiorer 2 (DE-2) satellite during October and early December 1981 have been used to examine the high-latitude circulation in the upper thermosphere. Vector winds along the satellite track are derived by appropriate merging of thedata from the remote-sensing FabryPerotinterferometer(meridiona1 wind)and the insitu wind andtemperaturespectrometer(zona1 win...
متن کاملSolar Wind: Global Properties
The most fundamental problem in solar system research is still unsolved: how can the Sun with a surface temperature of only 5800 K heat up its atmosphere to more than a million K? In fact, the solar atmosphere is so hot that not even the Sun’s enormous gravity can contain it. Part of it is continuously evaporating into interplanetary space: the SOLAR WIND. As a highly ionized magnetized plasma ...
متن کاملSolar wind interaction with the Martian upper atmosphere: Roles of the variable 3D cold thermosphere and hot oxygen corona
We study the role of the variable 3D thermosphere and exosphere on the Martian ionospheric structure and ion escape rates in the process of the solar wind-Mars interaction. We employ a four-species multifluid MHD (MF-MHD) model to simulate the Martian ionosphere and magnetosphere. The cold thermosphere background is taken from the Mars Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (M-GITM) and the hot o...
متن کاملWind Field Models and Model Order Selection for Wind Estimation
A bstract-Traditional scatterometer wind estimation inverts the model function relationship between the wind and backscatter a t each resolution element, yielding a set of ambiguities due to the many-to-one mapping of the model function. Field-wise wind estimation dramatically reduces the number of ambiguities by estimating the wind for many resolution elements, simultaneously, using a wind fie...
متن کاملEmpirical Solar Wind Forecasting from the Chromosphere
Recently, we correlated the inferred structure of the solar chromospheric plasma topography with solar wind velocity and composition data measured at 1 AU. We now offer a physical justification of these relationships and present initial results of a empirical prediction model based on them. While still limited by the fundamentally complex physics behind the origins of the solar wind and how its...
