PW coupling trough modulation of GW Contours: zonal mean wind Greyscaling: potential energy from SABER temperature profiles Dashed line: TID proxy over Europe Solid line: PWTO proxy form TEC maps
MUAM model no travelling PW zonal mean lower stratospheric temperatures nudged
Proposed work • Modellingresponseofthemiddleatmosphereandthermosphereto SSW • simple andcosteffective model • GW parameterizationforthethermosphererequired • Analysis of wind wind, temperatureandtidalresponse • Possibleroleof GW, tides… • Analysis ofSwarmdata on smallscales • Small scalevariabilty in densities, electroncontent
