DOI: 10.1002/2017jd026748
Abstract: The NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM), with a quasi-uniform horizontal resolution of ∼25km and a vertical resolution of 0.1 scale height, produces large vertical shear of horizontal wind with peaks around the mesopause… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023sw003670
Abstract: Large vertical shears in the E‐region neutral zonal winds can lead to ion convergences and contribute to plasma irregularities, but climatological studies of vertical shears of horizontal winds in a global scale are lacking due… read more here.
