HIWIND balloon and Antarctica Jang Bogo FPI high latitude conjugate thermospheric wind observations and simulations
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Using the High attitude Interferometer WIND observation balloon and Antarctic Jang Bogo station high latitude conjugate observations of the thermospheric winds we investigate the seasonal and hemispheric differences between the northern and southern hemispheres in June 2018.
Description
We found that the summer (northern) hemisphere dayside meridional winds have a double-hump feature, whereas in the winter (southern) hemisphere the dayside meridional winds have a single hump feature.
We attribute that to stronger summer, perhaps, northern hemisphere cusp heating. We also compared the observation with NCAR Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) model. The TIEGCM reproduced the double-hump feature because of added cusp heating.

The summer hemisphere has stronger anti-sunward winds. This is the first time we have very high latitude conjugate thermospheric wind observations.
