Wind systems in the mesosphere and lower ionosphere.
ResearchPublished 1960
A discussion of possible wind systems in the mesosphere and lower ionosphere. Using wind data from 30- to 100-km altitudes, cross sections of zonal wind are constructed and compared with the existing model of the mesosphere and lower ionosphere. Temperatures at 60 N are then computed from the zonal winds, and when compared with observations at Fort Churchill, show good agreement for summer and large deviations for winter.
