Thermospheric zonal temperature gradients observed at low latitudes
Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) measurements of thermospheric temperatures from the Doppler widths of the OI 630 nm nightglow emission line have been carried out at Cachoeira Paulista (23◦ S, 45◦ W, 16◦ S dip latitude), Brazil. The east-west components of the thermospheric temperatures obtained on 73 nights during the period from 1988 to 1992, primarily under quiet geomagnetic conditions, were...
متن کاملEffects of magnetospheric lobe cell convection on dayside upper thermospheric winds at high latitudes
This paper investigates a possible physical mechanism of the observed dayside high-latitude upper thermospheric wind using numerical simulations from the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (CMIT) model. Results show that the CMIT model is capable of reproducing the unexpected afternoon equatorward winds in the upper thermosphere observed by the High altitude Interferometer WIND obser...
متن کاملThermospheric nitric oxide at higher latitudes: Model calculations with auroral energy input
[1] The nitric oxide (NO) density in the lower thermosphere has been calculated by a photochemical model for NOx and compared with measured NO densities from Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE). At higher latitudes the most important contributor for NO density increases is energetic electron precipitation. The electron energy is estimated in two ways, from auroral ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray me...
متن کاملThermospheric vorticity at high geomagnetic latitudes from CHAMP data and its IMF dependence
Neutral thermospheric wind pattern at high latitudes obtained from cross-track acceleration measurements of the CHAMP satellite above both polar regions are used to deduce statistical neutral wind vorticity distributions and were analyzed in their dependence on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). The average pattern confirms the large duskside anticyclonic vortex seen in the average wind p...
متن کاملRadio sources at low Galactic latitudes
High-resolution radio observations of a sample of 65 radio sources at low Galactic latitudes are presented. The sources were all observed at 5 GHz with the VLA A-array. MERLIN observations at 5 GHz of the ultracompact H ii region G34.26+0.15 and one of the extragalactic sources, B1857−000, are also presented, as are GMRT observations of H i in the direction of three sources, B1801−203, B1802−19...
