Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical and empirical study of the response of the high latitude thermosphere to the sense of the "Y" component of the interplanetary magnetic field
David Rees,Tim Fuller-Rowell,R. Gordon,M.F. Smith,N. C. Maynard,J. P. Heppner,Nelson W. Spencer,L. E. Wharton,Paul B. Hays,Timothy L. Killeen +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional, time-dependent global thermospheric model using a polar conversion electric field with a dependence on the Y component of the IMF to evaluate wind circulation is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of wind observations of the upper thermosphere from the dynamics explorer satellite with the predictions of a global time-dependent model
David Rees,Tim Fuller-Rowell,R. Gordon,Timothy L. Killeen,Paul B. Hays,L. E. Wharton,Nelson W. Spencer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, seven polar passes of the NASA Dynamics Explorer 2 (DE-2) satellite during October and early December 1981 have been used to examine the high-latitude circulation in the upper thermosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of thermospheric composition changes caused by a severe magnetic storm
TL;DR: In this article, the UCL 3-dimensional time-dependent thermospheric model with atomic and molecular components is used to study composition changes in the neutral gas at F-layer heights produced by a severe magnetic storm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The generation of vertical thermospheric winds and gravity waves at auroral latitudes—II. Theory and numerical modelling of vertical winds
David Rees,M.F. Smith,R. Gordon +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the UCL three-dimensional, time-dependent thermospheric model was used to evaluate the effects of the geomagnetic energy and momentum sources in the presence of an auroral substorm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The westward thermospheric jet-stream of the evening auroral oval
David Rees,Tim Fuller-Rowell,M.F. Smith,R. Gordon,Timothy L. Killeen,Paul B. Hays,Nelson W. Spencer,L. E. Wharton,N. C. Maynard +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ground-based and satellite observations to study the jet-streams of extreme magnitude in the vicinity of the auroral oval in the afternoon and evening period, and then evaluated with the aid of simulations using a global, three-dimensional, time-dependent model of thermospheric dynamics including the effects of magnetospheric convection and particle precipitation.
