Numerical Modeling of the Influence of Solar Activity on the Global Circulation in the Earth’s Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere

Figure 6

The global distributions of the simulated vertical component of the neutral wind velocity at the altitude of 50 km, obtained for 16 January and calculated for two distinct values of solar activity: (a) and (b). The velocities are given in m/s, with positive direction of the vertical velocity being upward.
