Numerical Modeling of the Influence of Solar Activity on the Global Circulation in the Earth’s Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere by Igor Mingalev, Victor Mingalev

“…The simulation results indicate that solar activity ought to influence considerably on the formation of global neutral wind system in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The influence is conditioned by the vertical transport of air from the lower thermosphere to the mesosphere and stratosphere. …”

Polar mesospheric ozone loss initiates downward coupling of solar signal in the Northern Hemisphere by Annika Seppälä, Niilo Kalakoski, Pekka T. Verronen, Daniel R. Marsh, Alexey Yu. Karpechko, Monika E. Szelag

“…This pathway, from mesospheric ozone to regional climate, is independent of the EPP-indirect effect, and solves the long-standing mechanism problem for EPP effects on climate.…”
