Abstract: This paper reports a calculation of the acceleration of the zonal mean flow induced by dissipating tides in the equatorial lower thermosphere. Estimates of the gravest symmetric gravitational Hough mode (1,1) of the migrating ...

Abstract: Common methods in spectral analyses of satellite data are the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) type of approaches, which generally require regular sampling and uniform spacing. These conditions sometimes cannot be met in ...

Abstract: This study presents a climatology of mesospheric and lower-thermospheric diurnal tidal winds obtained with the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). The observations reveal ...
