Longitudinal Variation in the Thermospheric Superrotation: CHAMP Observation and TIE‐GCM Simulation

By means of 4 years of Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) zonal wind observations and a Thermosphere‐Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model simulation, longitudinal and seasonal variations of thermospheric superrotation at magnetic equator are investigated first. The superrotati...
