IMF dependence of high-latitude thermospheric wind pattern derived from CHAMP cross-track measurements

Description : Neutral thermospheric wind pattern at high latitudes obtained from cross-track acceleration measurements of the CHAMP satellite above both North and South polar regions are statistically analyzed in their dependence on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) direction in the GSM y-z plane (clock ang...
