Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetospheric electric fields and currents and their influence on large scale thermospheric circulation and composition
TL;DR: In this paper, a semiquantitative study of the configurations of Joule heating and momentum force is performed in terms of series of spherical functions, each individual term drives corresponding wind systems which depend on latitude, longitude, local time and universal time.
Book ChapterDOI
Global Electric Circuit
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with electric fields and currents generated in thunderstorms and discuss the characteristics of the global electric circuit, including the area of charge separation, lightning events as breakdown electric currents, and sferics as the electromagnetic radiation of the lightning currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A three-dimensional model of thermosphere dynamics—I. Heat input and eigenfunctions
Hans Volland,Hans G. Mayr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional model of the thermosphere dynamics is developed in terms of the eigenfunctions of the atmospheric system, and a three dimensional model for the external heat inputs like solar XUV-radiation and corpuscular heating during geomagnetic storms is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physical behavior of the upper atmosphere deduced from satellite drag data
Book ChapterDOI
Galileo Radio Science Investigations

TL;DR: The radio science investigations planned for the 6-year flight to and 2-year orbit of Jupiter use as their instrument the dual-frequency radio system on the spacecraft operating in conjunction with various US and German tracking stations on Earth as mentioned in this paper.
