Abstract: The tropical Mesosphere‐Lower Thermosphere‐Ionosphere system is found to show significant variabilities during Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) events. Recent studies have highlighted the possible role played by modified background wind conditions in communicating the SSW‐induced stratospheric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa036
Abstract: Recent precise measurements at Jupiter's and Saturn's gravity fields constrain the properties of the zonal flows in the outer envelopes of these planets. A simplified dynamic equation, sometimes called the thermal wind or thermo-gravitational wind… read more here.

Abstract: Meteor radar data collected over Langfang, China (39.4° N, 116.7° E) were used to estimate the momentum flux of short-period (less than 2 h) gravity waves (GWs) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), using… read more here.
