Nighttime poleward wind changes induced by SAPS exhibit remarkable UT variations, with a maximum at 06 UT and a minimum at 00 UT. q The UT variation of the poleward wind changes is caused by the combined effects of pressure gradient, ion drag force and Coriolis force. q The ion drag effects on the poleward wind changes result from the displacement between the geomagnetic and geographic poles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
