Analysis of Forcing Terms Determining the Thermospheric Wind Vortices at High Latitudes

Kwak et al.~(2008) found that the mean neutral wind pattern in the high-latitude lower thermosphere is dominated by rotational flow than by divergent flow. As an extension of the our previous work (Kwak et al.~2008), we performed a term analysis of vorticity equation that describes the driving force...
