Linear Models of Mesospheric Structure and Circulation. Part 2. Development and Application of Heating Functions.

Abstract

The linear separable models of mesospheric circulation and structure developed in AD-A016 585 have been improved with the inclusion of the improved and more accurate heating functions obtained by Baker (1975). These models accurately simulate the observed zonal wind and temperature fields at mid and high latitudes in the upper stratosphere and mesophere.
