We investigate the interhemispheric circulation at the solstices, in order to understand why O/N2\ is larger in the northern hemisphere winter than in the southern hemisphere winter. Our studies reveal that the equatorial ionosphere anomaly (EIA) significantly impacts the summer-to-winter wind through plasma-neutral collisional heating, which changes the summer-to-winter pressure gradient, and ion drag. Consequently, the wind is suppressed in the summer hemisphere as it encounters the EIA but accelerates a ...

Explaining solar cycle effects on composition as it relates to the winter anomaly The solar cycle variation of\ F2\ region winter anomaly is related to solar cycle changes in the latitudinal winter-to-summer difference of O/N2. Here we use the National Center for Atmospheric Research\textendashGlobal Mean Model to develop a concept of why the latitudinal winter-to-summer difference of O/N2\ varies with solar cycle. The main driver for these seasonal changes in composition is vertical advection, which is expressed most simply in pressure coordinat ...

Auroral Oval Boundary Modeling Based on Deep Learning Method Research on the location of the auroral oval is important to understand the coupling processes of the Sun-Earth system. The equatorward boundary and poleward boundary of the auroral oval are significant parameters of the auroral oval location. Thus auroral oval boundary modeling is an efficient way to study the location of auroral oval. As the location of the auroral oval boundary is subject to a variety of geomagnetic factors, there are some limitations on traditional methods, which express the auroral oval boundary as a ...
