Numerical simulations of thermospheric dynamics: divergence as a proxy for vertical winds
A local scale, time dependent three-dimensional model of the neutral thermosphere was used to test the applicability of two previously published empirical relations between thermospheric vertical wind and velocity divergence, i.e., those due to Burnside et al. (1981) and Brekke (1997). The model...
