TLDR
In this article, the HWM90 thermospheric wind model has been revised in the lower thermosphere and extended into the mesosphere, stratosphere and lower atmosphere to provide a single analytic model for calculating zonal and meridional wind profiles representative of the climatological average for various geophysical conditions.About:

Migrating and nonmigrating diurnal tides in the middle and upper atmosphere excited by tropospheric latent heat release
Maura E. Hagan,Jeffrey M. Forbes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the global scale wave model (GSWM) is used to investigate mesospheric and lower thermospheric migrating and non-migrating diurnal tidal components that propagate upward from the troposphere, where they are excited by latent heat release associated with deep tropical convection.

TL;DR: The Horizontal Wind Model (HWM07) as mentioned in this paper provides a statistical representation of the horizontal wind fields of the Earth's atmosphere from the ground to the exosphere (0-500 km).

Global Atmospheric Circulation Statistics, 1958-1989
TL;DR: In this paper, two monthly statistical quantities make up this dataset of grids which describe the atmospheric general circulation at eleven vertical levels across the troposphere and stratosphere over a 32-year period.

Global morphology of infrasound propagation
TL;DR: In this article, a unique atmospheric specification system (G2S) was developed to provide a detailed knowledge of the background atmospheric state variables, the global winds and temperature fields from the ground to ∼170 km, for infrasound propagation calculations, using acoustic ray tracing methods and detailed G2S atmospheric specifications.

Extension of the MSIS Thermosphere Model into the middle and lower atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the MSIS-86 empirical model has been extended into the mesosphere and lower atmosphere to provide a single analytic model for calculating temperature and density profiles representative of the climatological average for various geophysical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
MSIS‐86 Thermospheric Model
TL;DR: The MSIS-86 empirical model of thermospheric temperature, density and composition as discussed by the authors uses new temperature and composition data from the Dynamics Explorer satellite to improve the representation of polar region morphology over that in theMSIS-83 model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined ground-based incoherent scatter radar and Fabry-Perot optical interferometers to generate a revision (HWM90) of the HWM87 empirical model and extend its applicability to 100 km.
