Nonmigrating tidal signals in the upper thermospheric zonal wind at equatorial latitudes as observed by CHAMP

The accelerometer onboard CHAMP enables us to derive the thermospheric zonal wind at orbit altitudes (~400 km). Numerous equatorial overflights (~45 250) are used to investigate the influence of nonmigrating tides on the thermospheric zonal wind. In a previous study a so called "wave-4"...
